Howl
Level Activation: 1
Skill Prerequisite: None |
EFFECT: Frightens monsters into retreating. |
| A Barbarian warrior in battle is a
fearsome sight. They cover their bodies with strange markings and
the fire in their eyes can be seen from across the battlefield.
Early in his training a warrior must learn how to tap the primal
energies wound him and utter a howl in battle - a bellow so fierce
that it will send even the battalions of the Burning Hells running
in fear. |

Find
Potion
Level Activation: 1
Skill Prerequisite: None |
EFFECT: Grants a chance that a Health, Mana
or Rejuvenation potion can be derived from a corpse. |
| When a warrior is injured while out in the
field, he must find ways to effectively heal wounds. By picking
among the glands and entrails of the recently dead, a Barbarian
warrior can sometimes scavenge enough ingredients to make a
powerful healing elixir. Some Barbarians are skillful and
fortunate enough to find ingredients for a potion that restores
not only their life health but their spirit as well. |
 |
Taunt
Level Activation: 6
Skill Prerequisite: Howl |
EFFECT: Taunts a monster to fight you. |
| Pinpointing an opponent’s physical
weakness is not the only talent a warrior of the Steppes
possesses. He can often ascertain what emotional strings might
push a foe into a fight, against it’s better judgment. A
Barbarian taunting an opponent into a blind rage hopes to
capitalize on the mistakes enemies may make while so angered. It
is this ability that causes Barbarian’s to have poor reputation
as drinking partners. |

Shout
Level Activation: 6
Skill Prerequisite: Howl |
EFFECT: Increases the defense of friendly
units. |
| Barbarian warriors are born to command in
battle. When a warrior learns this skill he can raise his voice
above the din of combat to shout warnings of impending blows to
his comrades in rms. This will alert them in time to allow them to
guard against the incoming attack. |
 |
Find
Item
Level Activation: 12
Skill Prerequisite: Find Potion |
EFFECT: Grants a chance that an item can be
found on a corpse. |
| To most people, searching the bodies of
the recently slain is a distasteful chore. Quite happy with
procuring whatever items are readily visible and moving on, most
people often miss useful items. The Barbarian people have never
had the luxury of abundance, and their harsh existence has taught
them to scavenge every part of the dead for the items they need to
survive. What use do the dead have for gold? |
 |
Battle
Cry
Level Activation: 18
Skill Prerequisite: Taunt |
EFFECT: Frightens nearby enemies and lowers
their defense. |
| Gifted Barbarian warriors can benefit from
their connection to their totem animals to exploit the primal
fears of their opponents. Once a Barbarian unleashes the Battle
Cry, even the legions of the dead will become so distracted that
they falter in their quest for victory. This permits the warrior
an easy kill. |
 |
Battle
Orders
Level Activation: 24
Skill Prerequisite: Shout |
EFFECT: Increases Mana, Life, and Stamina of
party members.
|
| Although skillful in single combat, the

ability that makes him a natural leader in combat. An experienced
warrior can use this skill to better array his forces in battle,
enhancing their ability to overcome the enemy. |

Grim
Ward
Level Activation: 24
Skill Prerequisite: Find Item |
EFFECT: Turns a corpse into a fetish that
will frighten monsters away. |
| This skill allows the Barbarian to fashion
a totem out of the carcass of his slain enemies. The resulting

Prime Evils. The mere sight of the totem causes monsters to flee
in terror. With additional training the warrior can increase the
potency of the ward. |
 |
War
Cry
Level Activation: 30
Skill Prerequisite: Battle Cry & Battle Orders |
EFFECT: Damages and stuns your enemies. |
| Summoning the ancient powers known to his
people, a Barbarian warrior can call on his spirit animal and lash

this skill that gives rise to the legends of Barbarians being able
to sap the life from a creature with a single word. |
 |
Battle
Command
Level Activation: 30
Skill Prerequisite: Battle Orders |
EFFECT: Temporarily increases the skills of
party members. |
| Using this skill a Barbarian can examine
the abilities of his companions and , during battle, determine how

as well as their natural abilities a leaders that are gradually
shedding the long held stereotype that the Barbarian people are
merely ignorant savages. |
