The Battle Rager is classic dungeon
and dragons character. A frighteningly powerful barbarian when
raged, the battle rager goes from a dangerous fighter to a juggernaut
when raged and using damage boost, with a great axe doing an average of
31.5 points of damage with a hit, and doing an average of 70 points of
damage (roughly) with a critical hit (on a 17 or less)!
Not a defensive character, the battle rager relies on high bonuses to
will saves when raged (and innate dwarven spell resistance) to avoid
being

from delivering death to opponents. Not concerned with defense,
the battle rager's only nod to the party cleric (who most likely will
cry often, unless your kind enough to give some wands to them), is a
damage reduction boost, which grants a short term boost to defense in
some situations.
This is a very uncompromising, durable and deadly build. It is
wise to carry

wands and potions for party healers (lest you not be invited to group
in the future), but for dealing out damage, there isn't much of a
better build, and most parties will see this.
