6. Amok (Barbarian-Fighter)

The Amok multiclass flavors the barbarian’s rage as a “battle trance” instead of an unstoppable fury. This class most often uses sword and board tactics (weapon and shield), with the frenzy of battle causing an adrenaline rush inside the character, allowing them to push their bodies to its utter limits.

Summary:

• High armor class
• High damage
• High board control

How to play effectively:

• Take your first level in fighter, dipping into Barbarian only enough to gain Uncanny Dodge for the early levels
• Get the feat Shield Master as soon as humanly possible
• Become a Battle Master Fighter and take maneuvers allowing you to change enemies states (knock them prone, move them around, ect)

Roleplaying Hooks:

• You were in a great battle, left for dead, now you fight every battle as if it is your last
• You will stop at nothing to slay your enemy, not even death can stop you
• You know your purpose in life, and that is to lead others into battle (take maneuvers that help allies instead of changing enemy states, turning you into a Warlord)
