Hey! Guess what. You're Awesome and thanks for watching. I promise this is the best DND tutorial based on a 30 year old Jeff Foxworthy joke you'll ever see. Stick around for more and vote in the comments for which subclass you'd like to next.
The day the squirrel went berserk, in the First Self Righteous Church, in that sleepy little town of Pascagoula... It was a fight for survival, that broke out in revival, folks were jumping pews and screaming hallelujah.

Barbarian: I came into this world naked, screaming, and covered in someone else's blood. I am leaving the same way.
My character is borrowing this quote, with your blessing.
@@casually_lurking Have fun with it.
Or not... since they can't die lmao
I had a Barbarian who became a zealot when she was cursed with lycanthropy and then cured by a cleric in the next town over. It was so impactful on her that she vowed to repay the goddess (homebrew harvest goddess) by being her instrument in the mortal world. The subclass as been one of my favourites since because it just has so much beautiful storytelling around it.
... I don't think I've ever seen my DM so ticked when my dwarven zealot charged an army, raged beyond death till the last round... Then used the dwarf feat where I can use my con dice to heal when I dodge, making my DM realize I basically had 16 lives!!!... Good times~
First DnD character, I knew I wanted to be a Barbarian
But I wasn’t sure what subclass I wanted
When asking the group for advice and I described what I wanted as “too angry to die, like the DOOM Slayer” everyone said Zealot
God I miss that character
I’m convinced that his “Rage” will slowly become just as iconic as Jocat’s Smite
Man I miss Jocat
@@sspectre8217 Same
Reborn zelot barbarian soldier just sort of woke up after the war pole arm still in his chest
"Huh...that sure fucking hurt. Eh, I'll get over it."
*looks down*
“I am amused”
*wrenches self off of polearm*
(Looks at polearm)
“Huh. I wonder how that got there.”
(Rips it out and bends it into a metal pretzel)
Here's a fun idea: be a Leonin worshiper of Hercules Zealot Barbarian. Say that the Nemean Lion Cloak wasn't a cloak but his true form and then go Nine Lives from Fate/Stay Night on your enemies.
Bro that's awesome. Like what if the nemaon lion wasn't weapon proof it just didn't die to any weapon like mordou in the Scottish Disney movie
yeah one of my favorite type of action scene is just the main character refusing to go down no matter the beat down, and that's the Zealot to the tee.
Florida man is literally too angry to die
Look how far you've come ma dude, been here since blade singer
I was just thinking exactly this and yeah. It's very deserved.
Same. It’s pretty wild to have seen how this series/channel grew like crazy.
For real 🥰 congrats
I meant eldritch knight lol was typing that while watching bladesinger.
I love pairing this with Aasimar race and Sun Soul Monk.
His name is Auron: the Sun Zealot! Praise the Sun!
Death can have me when it *earns* me.
One of my favorite recent characters was a Zealot Barbarian stylized like a Pro Wrestler. I've been allowed to flavor a maul as him slamming fools WWE style, and he's a gladiator who dedicates his fights to the gods above.
Rune Knight would be good too if you want the posibility of suplexing Large and Gargantuan monsters.
@@KaiKrimson56 True, luckily, though, we use the Grim Hollow transformations, and my guy is naturally lorge
( 0:38 ) as a religious person, this had me Laughing my ass off.
(I love dark humor.)
My zealot barbarian was an Aasimar who believed in his own hype so much he got god powers from it
You forgot to mention that the Rage Beyond Death/Persistent Rage combo gets INFINITELY busted at 20th level when you get UNLIMITED RAGES. You never need to be healed again, as you can always start a new rage before the old one ends, making a 20th level zealot functionally immortal.
Unless someone casts Sleep on you. No saving throw, so Fanatical Focus doesn't apply. And you're at zero HP, meaning you fall unconscious without even reducing the effect of the spell on other targets. Can be bypassed by playing a race that cannot be put to sleep, though. Even then, other shutdown spells and abilities exist, Fanatical Focus only works once per rage, and if you start a new rage, your old one ends, so if you're at zero, you drop. Your death is only postponed until the end of your rage, not until you are in a state of not raging.
@@theuncalledfor Yeah, there are ways to break this, but being at 0 and raging again won't cause you to drop. Rage doesn't end when you start another rage, only when you drop unconscious (which you can't) and when you choose to end it. And, the wording of Rage Beyond Death says that your unconsciousness/death IS postponed while you are in a state of raging: the first words of the ability say, "While you are raging,..." not, "Until the end of your current rage,..." If you use your bonus action to Rage while still under the effects of a previous Rage, you don't stop raging.
@@prophetisaiah08
Okay.
While you are raging, you cannot fall unconscious from having 0 hit points. That much is true. I got that wrong.
HOWEVER.
If you would die due to failing death saving throws, your death is postponed until your rage ends. Check the wording, I re-checked just now just to make sure.
You cannot have two rages active at the same time. That just doesn't make logical sense.
Therefore, you drop dead if you renew your rage while you're in a state of postponed death. Because you start a new rage, which ends your current one.
@@theuncalledfor I think the wording of that ability is too vague, to be honest, as the ability begins indicating one interpretation and ends indicating another. It's a DM's discretion thing, I think. I'd rule it that a 20th level zealot can stay alive as long as they can keep their rage going, as I don't think that's too powerful for a 20th level ability, especially seeing how it can be shut down by a 1st level spell that's commonly available. A player invested a full 20 levels into being literally too angry to die, so I think I should let them have it. If another DM rules it differently for their games, I can see why they would and wouldn't argue against them. But the rules seem to have the intent of giving the max level zealot pseudo-immortality in my opinion.
@@prophetisaiah08
Fair enough.
First… to say this is a cool subclass with a lot of good multiclass synergies.
My Zealot was a worshipper of Liiara, he did his best to spread joy, make sure that other were free to live how they wanted within reason, and fight like he wanted to die. Flavorful af
Caught that Mississippi Squirrel Revival reference in there. Well played.
Wasn't prepared for a clip of an NF song in I've of these videos. Nice.
My players gave the displacement cloak to the zealot barbarian.
I can NOT kill her. The worst she ever got was quarter health and that required a lucky back to back dragon breath, because of a surprise round.
She went toe to toe with a marilith and was only hit twice in 3 rounds!
An amazing class and she will never get the use the amazing death-defying mechanics
I created a Harengon Character with this subclass as a Theros Champion of Nylea, God of the Hunt
Oath_Vengence is no longer my higher calling
Try calling both. On a Gestalt campaign this is a crazy combination. (Although a LOT of classes are a very strong combination with paladin any way, be it rogue, barbarian, fighter, bard, warlock, sorcerer, druid, wizard or artificer)
I appreciate the nf intro
Imagine multi-classing zealot with rune knight:
EREN JEAGER
Would Zealot Barbarian compliment Battlemaster?
Really useful class for that self-centred reckless player who treats clerics ect as Heal Monkeys.
"Look I'll heal you after you die....."
Subraces would be an awesome addition to this format. Great work!
Yes Plz! I would loooove a YMBA Eladrin!
And then planes maybe? Basically anything that gets the Feywild covered!
YMBA does races and subrace as shorts
I plan on playing Aimo Koivunen as a zealot barbarian…. The name is definitely worth a google.
Leave it to YMBA to put a Ray Stevens song into a D&D video. Tell me you're Southern without telling me you're Southern... 🤣
Honestly, I was expecting The Streak. 🤷♂️
@@Shogunnamedchad🎶he's got un-arm-ored defense *(oogaty boogaty)* 🎶
Favorite subclass, AND you used God of War and an NF song! Absolutely perfect!
I’m excited for when you run out of subclasses that you start venturing into: YMBA dungeon master, or YMBA problem player, or even YMBA murder hobo
the day the squirrel went berserk reference was wild caught me so off guard hahahahahahaa sick
"Religion and angry lunatics" I promise you didn't lose me
Once you finish the individual subclasses, I hope you start with multiclass options.
I have been toying with the idea of a Zealot Barbarian that's basically a lunatic street-preacher. Not from a tribal society, just a crazy person living in a city, who hulks out when something offends his god. Based largely on a Flagellant from Warhammer. I just don't really have the manic energy to roleplay that for long, haha.
You can never go wrong with any of the Barbarian subclasses, and this one will be part of my rotations.
3:17 I can’t stop laughing
I’m so glad I found you now I’m able to send your videos to my friends who have trouble coming up with characters
The D4 channel should help as well than. 160+ character builds with a bunch theme builds sprinkled in, like a mac&cheese that's mostly cheese. There's plenty of good content I garantee it.
Would you try for way of mercy? I love the idea of punching someone back up when there down. Just say it only a flash wound.
I love your content. These are probably the most entertaining videos about DnD. Thanks. 😃
Bless this man, he just keeps the good stuff coming
I have an idea I want to play for a Zealot Barbarian where it’s basically he THINKS he’s a Paladin but has only learned how to Smite so far and is still trying to learn how to do healing and spellcasting
Love these videos!
Started my campaign as a Divine Soul after watching your video 🙏
Well done Sir! Love this vid
Zealot barb is a class I’ve always wanted to try and this video makes it seem even better than I thought!
My favorite character I ever made was a hobgoblin zealot barbarian with a silver great sword who loves slicing and dicing devils and demons.
Was not expecting NF. Love it.
Zealot Barbarian in a nutshell:
“BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!”
YES YES YES YES. Thank You so much. Favorite subclass right here
No Where did the hammer guy with cool shirt go?😭😭😭
Cool Video regardless
Way back in 3.5 I played a barbarian in a DrangonLance setting. The cleric was literally the only divine spellcaster IN THE WORLD we were aware of, and he saved my character from what would have been a long and horrible death.
She went full "rage for the glory of the gods" and tried to carry the cleric everywhere until he told her to stop.
BABE WAKE UP YMBA POSTED ANOTHER BARBARIAN VIDEO 🎉🎉
But seriously I love this guys video so much, my favourite D&D channel no competition
Side note. NF's "The Search" is a solid song.
Combod with solid content as always.
YES THE NF INSERT WITH THE CHRISTIAN NOD!! THAT WAS SO COOL!! THANK YOU!!!
Love the nf song in the intro lol
I was thinking about Jesus barbarian last night😂
"Religion and Angry lunatics."
As a Christian...You are absolutely right lol
I just started a campaign as a zealot barbarian, but instead of worshipping/following a god, he just has a major god complex. He believes his own hype so much that it manifests as his abilities.
I’m about to be playing a aasimar zealot barbarian that was raised with the ideals of the hellriders in a Decent to Avernus game. Its gonna be a good one
So I forgot what I was gonna say once I heard "The Squirrel went Berserk" and you unlocked core memories about my grandpa
Loved the Ray Stevens throwback
Just for anyone who is curious the name of song at the beginning of the video is The Search by NF
Ray Stevens meet Beserk. beautiful
I never knew I needed to see Guts kill a 100 men while set to the Mississippi Squire revival in my life but here we are.
In terms of flavor and power this is and Ancestral Guardian are my favorite Barbarian subclasses
I was wondering if he was going to throw in the "too angry to die" joke.
0:36 Religions @ angry lunatics: _You're not affiliated with me!_
My character for my first dnd campaign is going to be a paladin/zealot barbarian. Why choose between smite and rage when you could have both?
Rageful Smite! get the bonk OF THE GODSSSSSS also if u wanna homebrew right Zealot with Heavy Armor would go dummy hard
Amen for the beefcake
Ah the subclass of my favorite character. Banner McMinmax.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING YOU JUST SAID MAGIC WORD MAN!!! ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOU SAID I CANT GO DOWN UNTILL RAGE ENDS!!!!!!!!
Blood for the blood God!
Lord Escante approves this message. My Martial madness character at lvl 16. Paladin, Barbarian, fighter. Hit more, hammer go bonk
I'd use as an entrance song,"Twilight of the Thunder God". By Amon Amarth. Model a male Goliath after Thor. Long braided red hair and beard beads in an equally long red beard. My weapon would be tho a military footman pick. Hammer head w a spiked crows beak. Or mabye a badarse female Goliath. Zealot barbarian of Clanggedin Silverbeard. (No beard of course for her). Skin tone fair like snow. Fierce sky blue eyes. And a temper to match.
When someone is literally too angry to die
My zealot barbarian is half elf fighting for the gods of love ❤️
I flavored my Zealot barbarian going into the Avatar state whenever she raged.
Just immagine make a zealot barbarian mother that gain her power For the sake of saving her child/s. like the urban legend where if a child is in danger the mother can lift a car with her bear hands.
Can’t believe YMBA just made me realize Tanjiro from Demon Slayer is basically Zealot Barbarian. Sun Breathing is just Divine Fury and Total Concentration Breathing is Rage 😂
imagine some way some how, you could multiclass zealot and giant barbarian....
These class videos are so good that they ruin BG3 for me. Another cool looking subclass I can’t play in the game.😂
When it releases can yo cover the bender classes from ryoko's guide?
Shunnnn the nonbelieverrrrr
I have an idea for a Goliath CN Zealot Barbarian that worships Surtur
0:39 you did not lost me there lol
To angry to die!!
You forgot one small thing at level 20 you have unlimited rage.
Oathbreaker Paladin pls
Could you do something about oath of the watcher
Honestly, a roided out zealot is terrifying
Came here for some barbarian shit, stayed for the proper NF worship 👌
Im making a zealot barbarian/battle master, zen ronin bounty hunter
Anyone know the name of the song at the beginning of the video?
"Breaking news:Man too religious to die"
Clearly this is Guts from Berserk.
Zealot Barbarian has a holy book on their person but has made up a load of shit because they can't read.
0:28/3:09 What are these from, please?
The first looks like an off-brand Berserk
Yooo, what is that song with Kratos in the beginning?
The Search by NF
So basically, you can be Kenpachi with this Class?
Who would win, an immortal raging machine or a level 2 spell (calm emotions)
