Barbarian

Barbarians are brave, even reckless warriors, and their great strength and heartiness makes them well suited for adventure. Barbarians scornfully reject the fighter traditions of arms training and discipline, instead tapping into a powerful rage that makes them stronger, tougher, and better able to withstand attacks.

How it works

A pure Barbarian that has taken Mighty Rage and activates Barbarian Rage gets Mind Spells Immunity while the rage is active. No one else gets it from raging.
The save DC of the fear from Terrifying Rage is your Intimidate skill + 1d20.
