Can you share some ideas for a DND nice barbarian back story?

A druid's back story might be that they were orphaned at a young age in a war - torn land. They wandered into the forest to escape the chaos. In the forest, they were found by a druid circle. The circle took the child in and taught them the ways of nature. This druid grew up learning about the balance of nature. They once had to face a group of loggers who were cutting down the forest without regard for the ecosystem. Using their druidic powers, they summoned animals to drive the loggers away and have since been on a mission to prevent any harm to the forests in their region.

Sure. One could be an orphan who was found in a mysterious, ancient ruin. The orphan was raised by a kind-hearted hermit who lived near the ruin. This orphan has an uncanny ability to understand the long - forgotten languages inscribed on the ruin's walls, which might be related to some ancient magic or a lost civilization. As the orphan grows up in the DND world, this special ability attracts both good - intentioned scholars who want to study the past and also some evil forces who want to use this knowledge for their own gain.

Perhaps the half - orc was abandoned as a baby by his orc clan because of his half - human blood. He was found by an old hermit who lived in the mountains. The hermit raised him as best he could, but as the half - orc grew, his orcish nature started to show. One day, a group of bandits attacked the hermit's home. In a fit of rage, the half - orc killed them all. Realizing his strength and the power of his anger, he left the hermit to become a barbarian, seeking a place where he could belong.

In some historical accounts, barbarians were seen as outsiders who didn't conform to the norms of the so - called civilized world. If this 'barbarian true story' is about that perception, it could be about how they were treated by the more 'advanced' societies. They were often the subject of fear - mongering and were sometimes wrongly portrayed as being completely uncivilized when in fact they had their own complex cultures, languages, and religious beliefs.

A barbarian might have a back story of being from a nomadic tribe. His family was constantly on the move, following the herds. As a child, he learned to hunt and fight to protect the tribe. One day, raiders attacked their tribe. He watched his parents fight bravely but they were outnumbered. This event sparked his hatred for invaders and he vowed to become a great warrior to protect his people.

In one DND story, the characters were part of a grand tournament. They had to compete in various challenges like archery, melee combat, and magic duels. One of the characters, a half - elf ranger, had an amazing display of archery skills that wowed the crowd. However, they soon discovered that the tournament was rigged by an evil noble who wanted to eliminate any potential threats. The party then had to expose the noble's plot while still trying to win the tournament for honor. They managed to do so by gathering evidence during the tournament and presenting it at the end, which led to the noble's downfall.

One element could be a tragic event like the loss of family. For example, his family might have been killed by a rival tribe, which made him seek revenge. Another is growing up in a harsh environment such as a frozen tundra or a scorching desert. This would force him to adapt and become strong. Also, a meeting with a powerful mentor. Maybe an old, battle - hardened warrior who taught him combat skills.

There was this one DND adventure where we were in a tavern. Our fighter, who was really big and tough - looking, decided to enter a drinking contest. He boasted that he could outdrink anyone. Well, he underestimated the local dwarf. After just a few mugs, the fighter passed out, and the dwarf just laughed and continued drinking. The next day, the fighter had a huge headache and had to listen to the dwarf's teasing all day long.

Sure. Once, my friend's character, a bumbling wizard, tried to cast a spell to make himself fly. Instead, he turned his robes into a giant, flapping bird that carried him around while he flailed helplessly. It was hilarious.

Sure. A simple back story could be that the soldier was born in a small village on the outskirts of a kingdom. His family were farmers but he always dreamed of a more exciting life. One day, raiders attacked the village. He picked up a pitchfork and fought bravely. After that, he decided to become a soldier to protect his people from future threats.
