Soar into battle and smite your foes with the divine fury of an Aasimar Barbarian!

7/10 Synergy Striker Role Medium Difficulty

Why Aasimar Barbarian?

An Aasimar Barbarian is a powerful combination, blending raw physical might with celestial grace. Your high Hit Points, bolstered by the Barbarian's incredible d12 Hit Die, make you incredibly durable. At level 5, expect around 50 Hit Points, growing to a massive 104 by level 11. This allows you to stand on the front lines, absorbing blows meant for your allies.

The Aasimar's innate abilities are a fantastic complement. Celestial Resistance grants you resistance to certain damage types, making you even tougher. When you unleash your Celestial Revelation, you gain the power of flight, letting you bypass terrain and position yourself perfectly for devastating melee attacks. While your Charisma might be low (starting at 8), your strength (aim for 15) and Constitution (14 is good) are paramount for this build.
