Barbarians in Project Eternity will lose less health than other classes when taking damage

[teknoman2]

let's put it this way. in the first witcher game, Geralt had 3 combat styles: fast, strong and group. the fast was focused on finese and a flurry of well aimed but weak attacks to keep agile opponents under pressure. the strong, was meant to deliver powerful attacks with surgical precision on armored enemies. the group was a reckless array of wide moves, meant to just keep weak mobs away without making either much or focused damage.

now the barbarian is a guy who can only use the group fighting style. he makes wide swings with all his might that theoreticaly could deliver a huge blow to a single target, much as the strong style would, however he lacks the finese to hit accurately, making his attacks easily avoidable

taking a breather is a form of rest, so is sleeping.  the previous IE games didn't have a take a breather button, and they called the sleeping one by the generic 'rest' term, so the barbarian might rest the same number of times, just in shorter duration, or maybe more times, but still in shorter duration.  the only ting that is certain is that he will need less healing and more relaxation.
