Herne was once an honorable hunter, whose life was changed by an encounter with a mysterious druid. The druid taught him the ancient art of wild magic, but an unfortunate event during an intense hunting ceremony caused a permanent bond with the unpredictable forces of chaos. Now Herne bears the brunt of wild magic, with his emotions and actions causing unintentional, unpredictable and sometimes dangerous magical outbursts. He roams the land, searching for ways to master the magic and find peace with his unbridled powers.
This Barbarian is inspired by the story of Herne the Hunter, a figure from English folklore. I loved seeing how this old myth could be almost seamlessly translated into a Dungeons & Dragons setting and I hope you too are inspired to create your own character based on this.
Axe
Herne is armed with a battle axe, with which he can live out his battle rage.

Tunic
Since deer and other prey animals do not perceive the color red well, it is no problem for a hunter to wear a red tunic.

Make sure you also choose a suitable undertunic for the Lodin tunic, because wool can itch. For example:

Chapron
Is it too hot at a festival for a cloak? With a chaperon you still get an impression of life outdoors.

He also carries a narrower belt with a set of knives.
Boots
This is one of the most important parts of this costume. With a good pair of boots, Herne can walk through the wilderness tirelessly. Unfortunately, the model we used for the photo is no longer available. But take a look at the following models:
