Base Class: Barbarian
There are some Barbarians who live so close to animals their warriors fight just like them. Specializing in hand to hand to either relying on speed to get into and advantageous spot on their opponent or going toe to toe and attempting to over power their enemy. Some say that the Barbarian rage is as close as you can get to the fury of nature and pure animalistic instinct these tribes of Barbarians commit themselves to that.
