No armor, bulette drops a decent clothing

[Bastila Shan]

I can’t find any clothing in the wiki other than standard robes and default class outfits whats the clothing called?

Haven't checked how they've changed things, but in 5e barbarians can use medium or light armor. The better your constitution score, the less you'll need armor.

Odds are, you're best off wearing Half-Plate armor. Depends how high your dex and con get.

I went with a 14 AC barbarian build. When we can roll stats I imagine I can get the CON score higher than +2. I made Shadowheart the tank with 19 AC and left my barbarian MC as a dps.

1. Bloodguzzler Garb
2. Gloves of Flint & Steel
3. Linebreaker Boots
4. Absolute Talisman
5. Everburn Blade

I went berserker and took the two-handed weapon feat at level 4. When they hit, they hit hard, but I try and negate the - attack rolls they suffer with bless or other buffs. Then I had Gale use Enlarge on the barbarian and then you can throw other creatures easier.

To answer the OP's question, Barbarian's can use all the armor in the game with the exception of heavy armor. Since heavy armor barely exists yet, and is just about the worst armor type in the game right now, it really doesn't matter.

Alternatively, you can get high con and high dex then ignore wearing armor. I believe the best AC you can start with as a barbarian without armor is 16, and the gith armor with 14 dex will put you at 17.

Up to you.

In normal D&D, not wearing armor as a barbarian is a trap. You can get better AC using medium armor and 14 dex, and save your Ability Score Improvements for Strength and feats. Wearing armor also allows you to benefit from magical/special armor abilities. The same applies to BG3.

Further, wearing armor lets you diversify your stats and race choices in CC. If you want the highest unarmored AC, you have to go Halfling, Half Elf, or Human, and risk not having 16 strength.

Barbarians are proficient in light and medium armor. If you build a Barbarian based on Strength (most Barbarians) then you want to wear medium armor. If you build a Barbarian based on Dexterity, then you get the advantage of Unarmored Defense, which sets your base AC to 10 + Con modifier (and then you get to add your Dex modifier on top of that) as long as you aren't wearing any armor (and then you can wear the Barbarian "clothing" items).

If you prefer Dex over Str, then Unarmored Defense is great for AC, otherwise you probably want to be wearing armor.

They can, though depending on how high your Con and Dex attributes are armor can be worse than useless.

Sadly they can use up to medium armor which for me takes a bit from the flair. If you want to use big weapons, you usually have 16 strength, 14 dex and 16 con at start. With the no-armor stupidly mage-like looking Barbarian armor you have 10 + 2 + 3 = 15 AC. With halfplate you have 15 + 2 = 17 AC.

A dex based Barbarian might profit more from no armor, however suffers from the lore that Barbarians are dump big weapon swinging muscle machines based on strength, as shown by several dialog options.

A human can start with 16 in STR, CON, and DEX so you don't have to choose. The gith plate is still one better AC, but often someone else gets a bigger boost from wearing it. Depends on the group.
