Would a Kashtar from the new unearthed arcana make for a good Totem Barbarian?
Resistance to psychic damage is the one that bear totem is missing, you get a boost to wisdom saves on a reaction, and advantage on a choice skill plus proficiency will make you very good at it. I suppose you'd be slightly less capable at core abilities than a variant human, but would all the boosts make up for it?
And the flavor is there too: you're connected to an animal spirit from the land of dreams!
I guess I'd build it like:
16/14/14/8/12/10, then max out strength, get a good feat, then boost constitution.
Is it a good idea? How would you build it?
