Personally I don't think either of those fit. Barbarians are too ... barbaric to be monks. I mean, a giant Scotsman (what they basically are) is almost literally as far away as you can get (geographically and conceptually) from a Buddhist Monk.
As for Shadow Knights, Barbarians have always been a "good" race. Heck, even their "evil" members (Rogues) are less evil than most: they're not lurking in some sewer or something, they're running the town bank! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
On Sullon Zek Barbarians actually got to be Paladins, and I think that fits better than Shadow Knights (though still not great).
Plus ... Barbs would make terrible SKs for the same reason Erudites make great SKs: SKs require intelligence (and Barbs are dumb). In fact, the more I think about it, the more I remember Barbarians and Erudites are meant to be opposites (Barbs are humans taken to the dumb/strong extreme, and Erudites are humans taken to the smart/weak extreme). Really the two should never overlap class-wise. |
HIGHLY DISCRIMINATORY (and inflammatory) post riddled with overtly
*racist and bigoted* themes.
Among them:
1st.) casting Barbarians as savage subhumans incapable of martial discipline or
INNER FOCUS *strokes phantom beard contemplatively*
TWOnd) regarding shadow knights, a diverse lot of corpsefncking noblemen with varied and COMPETING allegiances as a
single religious sect.
3rd.) suggesting Erudites are somehow uniquely suited to the profession of ennobled corpsfnckery.
Rogean, please ban Loramin.
