Hi everyone , I need help with making a druid/barbarian multiclass, I know that I om going moon druid/ bear totem barbarian but I don't know what race or stats I should use and if I should start as barbarian then multi class into druid. Some advice on how to go about this would be appreciated.
Race: what you think is fun. There are no exceptions to this. DO NOT choose race for power, unless you're playing in a VERY deadly campaign. For stats, you don't really need Strength since your WIldshapes will take care of that, so Wisdom, Dexterity, and Constitution are the most important. For starting class, Barbarians get more weapon proficiencies, but Druids get better saves. They both get the same armor, so that doesn't matter. You might find the Druid skills to be more interesting.
The level the campaign starts at also matters. Each subclass is two or three levels in, which means it won't come online until level 5 or 6. So if you're starting out lower than that, which levels you're taking at every point will be an important consideration.
If you plan on wildhape+rage for combat, then your characters physical stats arent as important becausr str, dex, and con will come from wildshape. Your mental stats during wildshape come from your pc in non-wildshaped form. So it might make sense to put a bit more into your mental stats, and let your physical stats be lower than you mighy otherrwise be.
As soon as a dm see a barbarian enter the map, they usually look for the monster with the wisdom saving throw that will put the kibash on the barbarian. Shouldnt be every time first round, but after a roujd or two when it becomes clear to the npcs that hitting this wrecking ball with a hammer does nothing, if they have any intell8gence they will switch it up.
