Many believe that Barbarians are op. They have Charismatic Rage, Bonus Movement, and damage reduction, but I had an idea of special rages for barbarians.

Perhaps the movement and dr of barbarians could be lowered and some of these add to the special rages. With these special rages the base rage (4 Str/4 con) could change per say: just 6 con no strength bonus, 6 Stength no con bonus, or even Con 2/Dex 2/ str 2

Berzerker Rage
A hulking terror, the best defence is the greatest offence.
Str 6 base, -4 AC, +1d4 damage

Bear's Wrath
You act like Bear itself: large (not fat), ferocious, and scary.
str 2/ con 6 base, -4 AC, improved damage reduction

Savage Fury
str 3/ dex 3/ con 3 base, movement bonus, -2 AC, +5 tumble

These are just examples of what these special rages could be. If it is too op, or people think barbarians have enough cool stuff then fine with me.

Unbridled Rage:
You are one ferocious son of a bitch! Everyone is scared of you when you get in a fit!
Str 4/Con 4 base, -2 AC, on hit: scare/fear?
<SkillFocuspwn> no property developers among men only brothers

Uncontrollable fury
You get so angry sometimes that you leave everything behind. Forget friend or foe, just bloodshed and ANGER!
6 str/6con base, you are confused for full duration (Not blockable by wards), -4 AC, bonus 1d4 damage
<SkillFocuspwn> no property developers among men only brothers

Can't say I'm really into this suggestion thread so far.

Confusion leaves you just standing there or moving somewhere random more oft than not.

Barbarians are fine, and DMs can spice up their rages with loot if they are so inclined.

I like the idea and would provide a better feeling of customization, like having a true cut between being a tank or damage dealer.

EDIT: It has potential, it just needs players to support it
