A Bear Warrior in Dungeons & Dragons is a fierce and primal warrior who channels the raw strength and savagery of a bear. Introduced as a prestige class in Complete Warrior for D&D 3.5, the Bear Warrior is typically a barbarian or other melee-focused character who embraces the spirit of the bear to enhance their combat prowess. Unlike traditional berserkers who rely purely on rage, a Bear Warrior undergoes a supernatural transformation, physically turning into a bear during battle. This transformation grants them increased strength, natural attacks such as claws and bites, and improved durability, making them a fearsome force on the battlefield.

To become a Bear Warrior, a character usually needs a strong foundation in melee combat, including a high Base Attack Bonus and the ability to rage. Once they take levels in this prestige class, they gain the ability to transform into a bear while raging, starting as a black bear and later evolving into a more powerful brown bear and even a dire bear at higher levels. These forms grant enhanced physical abilities, increased resilience, and the ability to tear through enemies with sheer primal might.

Thematically, Bear Warriors often follow a totemic or shamanistic path, revering nature spirits or ancient traditions that grant them their shape-shifting abilities. They may belong to wild tribes, serve as guardians of sacred lands, or simply embrace the raw instincts of the beast within. In combat, they excel at tearing through foes with brute strength, relying on their bear form’s natural weaponry and resilience to overpower enemies. While they may lack the versatility of some other martial classes, their raw power and durability make them a formidable presence in any melee engagement.
