Barbarian would win. He has a big axe. Size does matter biatch! What's your pick? (By the way, just a generic barbarian but if you want to pick what kind i.e. Vikings, Mongols, Huns, Normans, Goths, Visagoths then go ahead.) |

Barbarians use battle tactics to ya know. And keep in mind that Japanese steel is brittle and flimsy. |

Rhine steel is stronger and more rust resistant than its Sino-Japanese counterpart. It is also a common misconception that a katana could cut a European sword in half. The European sword would fold the Japanese blade, which is meant for precision striking and set body movements. The European weapon is far more versatile. |

Also, despite all the good press samurai get for having mad skillz, the truth is they were slow, bulky warriors. What most people think of are actually called Kensai, swordsmen. And western combat styles were far more developed offensively and defensively than eastern styles. It's true, they were meant for precision striking, but western styles concentrated on efficient, hardcore, cleave-you-in-two death dispensing. German steel was as cold and efficient as its wielder. | |||

Not to mention the Bushi, who used staves rather than swords. Impressive fighters. And remember, the majority of European front line troops had JAVELINS Basically up until the near end of the Dark Ages. |

::::: SpiderMew snaps his little fingers and a long bookshelf full of gaming books and he grabs 2, The DnD 3.5 Players hand book and Complete Warrior book:::::: With all this dnd talk i decied to look at this from the stats.. Both are basic classes.. Samurai can be found on page 8 of the Complete Warrior and Barbarian on page 24 of the Players hand book Barbarian Alignment: Any nonlawful Samurai Alignment: Any lawful winner: Draw HIt die Barbarian: D12 Samurai: d10 Winner Barbarian Base attack fort and will is same for both Skill points: Barbarian First lv (4 + int. mod) x 4 Samurai: (2 + int. mod) x4 Winner Barbarian Weapon and armor Barbarians can use all simple and martial weapons, light and medium armor and sheilds except tower shields Samurai can use all simple and martial weapons, all armor, but no sheilds... guess thats a draw (Ex stuff at lv 1) Samurai get the Daisho proficency where he basicly gains exotic weapon proficency (bastard sword) as a bonus feat." Barbarians get Fast movement, which increases ther base speed by 10ft also rage 1/day but they get illiteracy.... meaning they have to take the read and write feet i f they want to read and write, which is a big drawaback as they level up, the barbarian is getting something special at every level like damage reduction and trap sence and more rage.. but thats just about it... Samurai get Kai smite and two swords as one, meny times and quick draw and staredown where he can demoralize one or more opponets as it gets improved.. and eventualy they get frightfull presence.... really i think there tied after doing this... they have enough drawbacks to balence out... so its all a roll of the dice.... |

Well I guess it depends on the Barbarian. If we're talking an Orc Barbarian, then that thing has easily one. (There's one in my current Campaign I'm in, the guys strength was like 22 or something at levels below 5 ...) (edited by Darth Xeodious on 05-25-05 05:59 AM) |

Additionally, barbarian is a fucking broad term. It also includes German Teutons, Iceni clansmen and other Celts, Frankish horsemen, Kozzaks, Huns, Mongols, etc. | |||
