The Best Storm Herald Barbarian Build for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5E)
Barbarians are the archetypal tank in D&D. They can take damage all day and they can sure as hell dish it out as well. They’re more likely to serve on the frontlines than sit in the back. Barbarians are an excellent melee character with the great ability to tank fights and deal high levels of damage. Barbarians excel in terms of sheer survivability and their ability to bring the fight to the enemy.

The Tempest Domain gives your cleric better options for being a frontliner, and for increasing your damage and combat control. If your Cleric takes the Tempest Domain they become the avatar of the Storm, using lightning and thunder damage to skilled effect to destroy any enemies that come into their path.
