    You're in the wrong place, mate. This is forum for the OOTS board game. You want the forum for 5E D&D.

    I'm going to go with Mark of Finding.

    The thing about dragonmarks is that they count as spells that you cast, so you can't use them in a rage. This means that Mark of Sentinel just isn't going to be as good as it usually is.

    Meanwhile, your dragonmark is your race now, so you need to have a Str boost to be a good Barbarian. Mark of Finding provides that boost, and allows for good out of combat utility to boot.

    For bonus points, you get to be a hard-boiled barbarian detective. Which is just all kinds of fun.

    Does it have to be a dragonmark? As a Barbarian I would rather be a Beasthide Shifter for the temp HP and strength. I can't think of a dragonmark which is as good.

    If I had to pick a dragonmark I'd pick Mark of Handling, because talking to animals is something I've seen barbarians have fun with in the past, and this way you could plausibly have a pet bulette or purple worm, which seems pretty Barbarian-ish.

    If you are set on choosing a Dragonmarked race, then I completely agree with Fable Wright. Otherwise, Half-Orc or VHuman are better choices for the racial features or extra feat at level 1 (I strongly suggest Polearm Master).
