Barbarian

Description
The Barbarian is a class that uses their battle axe and raw physical strength to deal damage to enemies. Barbarians are damage-dealers and their good Attack lends to this. Barbarians have average Agility and Defense that holds them back from being able to take or dodge enemy attacks frequently.

Skills
Mutton Leg: The Barbarian takes out a mutton leg and takes a large bite from it, healing themselves a bit and increasing their Attack and Defense.* TP Cost: 20, Attack+4, Defense+3

Wolf Shield: The Barbarian takes out a round shield with a wolf face carved into it that strikes fear into enemies. An enemy that looks directly at the shield has a chance of being paralyzed with fear if their Courage stat is lower than 10.* TP Cost: 50

Beowulf: The Barbarian calls on the strength of Beowulf and their axe triples in size. The axe will return to normal size after two minutes.* TP Cost: 70, Attack*2

Pillage: The Barbarian unleashes a sweeping attack that knocks its target off their feet. An enemy hit by the attack has a chance of having some of their loot stolen by the Barbarian when hit.* TP Cost: 45

Berserk: The Barbarian activates Berserk mode, greatly increasing their Attack and Agility but sharply decreasing their Defense. The effects wear off after two turns or after battle ends.* TP Cost: 50 Attack+8, Agility+8, Defense-10

Viking Raid: The Barbarian blows on a horn and from a cloud of mist comes a ghostly Viking boat that spawns two ghost Vikings that assist in battle for a short time. Each of the Vikings have only 10 health, 12 attack, and no defense or agility. The Vikings will leave after being defeated or after three turns.* TP Cost: 90

Saga: The Barbarian tells a lengthy saga that exhilarates its audience. Those who hear it will be on the edge of their seat and will be pepped up.* TP Cost: 5

Overview
Barbarians will take a decent amount of damage from enemies, and so their Mutton Leg skill is helpful for healing themselves and allowing them to retaliate with extra kick.

Barbarians can hinder enemies with their Wolf Shield skill, which will also expose enemies to ally attacks. The Beowulf skill doubles the Barbarian's Attack stat, and considering their Attack is already great, this makes them more of a deadly force in battle.

The Barbarian's Berserk skill raises their Attack and Agility sharply, allowing them to deal high damage and dodge enemy attacks easily, but if they are unfortunate enough to be hit with an enemy attack they will take more damage as the skill lowers their Defense when used.

The Viking Raid skill damages enemies and then summons two Vikings to support the party by assisting in battle, which can help when in a smaller party or when facing lots of enemies.

To maximize damage, the Barbarian should use Berserk or Beowulf at the start of the battle and before using the Viking Raid skill.

Trivia

 * The Beowulf skill increasing the Barbarian's axe in size is in reference to the story Beowulf where the eponymous hero, Beowulf, was fighting a terrible sea monster and took up a massive sword he found in the monster's home in favor of his own sword in order to slay the beast.
