Topic: Barbarian lotfp
I'm reskinning lotfp as all human for a sword and sorcery themed campaign set in a version of hyperborea.
I'm reskinning Dwarves as Cimmerean type barbarians. Instead of the larger HD (d10) and the Enc bonus encouraging heavier armour/more gear I was considering a rule change to encourage them as non/lightly armoured barbarian style.
Would adding their Con modifier to their AC (stacking or not stacking with dex?) do the job? (replaces extra equipment allowance).
My other thought was to let them ignore 1's taken in damage (replaces larger HD but better represents "toughness" in play)
or increase their crit range to 19-20 (18-20?) which doesn't step on the Fighters BtH toes but makes barbarians scary to fight.
Others seem easy- Picts as Halflings
Nobles (all with a hideous bloodline secret) as elves
Sorcerors replace mages/clerics.
Specialists stay.
