Barbarian

Barbarian is a hero class in Heroes of Ardania. Barbarians lacks the ability to use standard armor, but have high vitality and damage output, with an emphasis on inflicting critical hits. Barbarians have the most restrictive temple enchantment options, since their patron god, Krolm, is opposed by all other gods.

Description[]

“

Followers of Ardania's oldest religion, Barbarians worship Krolm, the Lord of the Wild. Barbarians loathe civilization and its trappings. Their insane two-weapon attacks have given them a reputation as brutally fierce fighters. Barbarians have strong ties to the Rangers of Ardania dating back to the treaty of Ravenswood.
