The title says it all. I would love to hear from any one that might have had the chance to play it at the convention.

I'm definitely curious as well. However, there's a possibility those trying out the barbarian are under an NDA. Hopefully not, as I really would like some info, but it it is it'd be understandable

That would be really weird, given the nature of this playtest. Being all open and stuff.

Count me in as someone interested. I wanna hear what that barbarian's like. I have a player in my group that'll likely want to switch his Fighter over to it.

I don't use emoticons, and I'm also pretty pleasant. So if I say something that's rude or insulting, it's probably a joke.

Everytime I see a new post here I think,"Ehmergerd, somebody posting the barbarian class here" but when I just see more new post about wanting to see the new barbarian, it makes me want flip a table. 

Maybe they playtesting at the Gen(or Con?) then modifying it for the download playtest?

Since they didn't NDA me I suppose I can talk about it a bit. Mind you, I only played the low level version.

But yes, it does have Rage and it seems pretty powerful. I don't remember all the specifics (didn't get to keep character sheets) but I do remember that they get 1/2 damage from bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage. And when they aren't raging, they can attack with advantage in return for granting advantage to everyone else. It was pretty nice.

They had a few other small things, but those two seemed like the biggies to differentiate it from the fighter in my mind. I also seem to recall being able to move really fast, but I am not sure if that was a barbarian thing or a feat.

Thanks, Nyar!

No problem. I wish I could be more specific, but like I said they didn't let us keep the character sheets for me to reference and I played in an early morning game in a semi-caffeine deprived state, so my memory is...foggy.
