Barbarian
The barbarian is one of the player classes in NetHack. Barbarians can be either neutral or chaotic, and can be either humans or orcs.
Barbarians start out with a poison resistance, and are excellent melee fighters, so they're probably the easiest class for the new player.
Starting Equipment
- two-handed sword or battle-axe
- axe or short sword
- ring mail
- food ration
