[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5790643, member: 73201"] Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone knew of a good guide to barbarians in PF. I'm trying to get a good build together. We just got TPK'd in the Serpent Skulls AP having gone into the last fight of a dungeon crawl down a bit, but also getting our butts handed to us by the DM rolling a bunch of 20's in a row. So now we are on to new characters, keeping the same level that we got killed at. Level 4. Rules: Level 4 25 point buy in 6000gp worth equipment We can use Ultimate Magic/Ultimate Combat, AGP, Core Rulebook (basically any Paizo products) 2 Traits I was contemplating going the min/max route with a half-orc and using the invulnerable rager archetype using a 2h earth breaker, but am definitely open to any other option. The other thing I was kind of thinking more for a schtick and "flavor" would be a halfling or gnome barbarian, but the obvious problem with that is their strength and I feel that going this route would make an ineffective barbarian who doesn't deal much damage at all and would die much easier than the half-orc. The party doesn't have any tanks and we have an oracle as a healer, so that's the other reason I was thinking the invulnerable rager option. I'm not sure what I should be doing with the build from 4-20 (I like to have something planned out ahead of time so I know where I'm going with it). So what would the community suggest I should do? What's the best build you've ever seen or come up with? Basically what rage powers, traits, feats, and skills would you suggest or what archetype would you suggest is the best to use (including the powers, traits, feats, and skills)? Thanks in advance!
