----Track (Sadly, someone in the party needs to have it, and im going to max survival)

You do not need the Track feat.

yeah, i was just reading that other post, a few minutes ago hehe.

still, that leaves the other feats that i to take, at least now i just have to worry about that and not trying what class I should get.

You need cleave. As the meat tank your gonna be around time and time again when the enemy is dropped next to you. Being able to make that other attack is always useful. Since your low level being able to attack twice in one roué I'd always helpful.

The thing is, in all the fights so far, there were max 2 enemies... and those were my tutorials, very easy. The other fights was just one monster.

But maybe we'll see something different cuz we are going to an unexplored town. I have to ask the other guys to see how often the GM makes battles with a decent amount of enemies. If the answer is rarely, may not be worth it.

yeah, it you wont face a lot of badguys at once. i can see dropping it in favor of something else.

So far i think ill go with these feats, theres no order still. (2 fighter feats are already included)

1st: Extra Rage

Improved Critical (Greatsword)
Reckless Rage
Mad Foam Rager
Power attack
Leap Attack
Improved Unarmed Strike (Fgt)
Improved Grapple (Fgt)
Iron Will


Optional: Cleave, if the DM or party member recommends it

could change Mad Foam Rager if theres something better

----

Skill tricks:

Twisted Charge
Nimble Charge
Extreme Leap : meh not much point, could be used to get closer to an enemy (that is if the other just died.)

The skills tricks are a little hard to get, cuz barb and fighter dont have tumble or balance as skills. Going into rouge would help, but i need a Favored Class Feat... thats only house rule right? at least is only a house rule in UA pg 100 (sidebar).

 

[Persiflage]

Im pretty sure there was a feat in some book that let you choose an extra favored class... if so, i could go 2 lvl fighter and at least 3 lvl feat rouge (at 4 would get improved uncanny dodge cuz i have uncanny dodge, but i can get that at barbarian lvl 5)

If you really, really want to burn a feat and your DM is sufficiently arbitrary as to enforce the XP penalties for multiclassing, then the feat you're talking about is Additional Favored Class from Unearthed Arcana, pg. 100

For the sake of completeness, other (even less good) feats that achieve the same thing - but with more restrictions - are Diverse Background (Races of Destiny, half-human races only) and Arcane Schooling (arcane casting class only).

Personally though, I took the Convincing My DM Not To Be A Heel feat at 1st level and it has done wonders for avoiding egregious nonsense like this

 

[Dandu]

Improved Critical (Greatsword)
Improved Unarmed Strike (Fgt)
Improved Grapple (Fgt)

These are all feats I would recommend you not take.

Ok im going to take another look at the 'Guide to Cracking Small Men'

Improved Initiate, is ok i guess.

Anyway, I wanted to trip, but now I realize that my char is too dump to trip correclty apparently.

The Feat Rogue would compensate somehow wasting a Feat, he basically gets a Bonus Feat every uneven lvl. Getting 3 lvl would give me 2 Feats, oh and evasion, with light/no armor.

The only reason I was thinking about multiclass was to convince my DM to let me go Feat Rogue too (breaking the rules a bit), so that at least I could learn another feat and get much more skill points, but first he has to accept the altered Rogue class...

The skill points would help me get the skill tricks more easily, cuz they require crossclass skill.

Edit:

ok, how about...

weapon focus
weapon specialization
Improved Initiate


Reckless Defense (seems like a little high price)
Stand Still (by itself, it doesnt look that good)

 

[Dandu]

weapon focus
weapon specialization

Feats providing minor bonuses that do not scale with level.
