[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4646277, member: 35909"] Odd assortment of books for a 3.5 game... how are you getting pounce? Did he just allow the Lion Totem from C.Champion (ie, you lost fast movement)? This may matter for selecting variants and alternate class features. I think you can shoot and drink potions while in frenzy, it's something you should check with the DM. Some have very strict FB rulings where you MUST attack and engage in combat nonstop, others don't. For race...orc is just plain better than half-orc, i'd recommend that instead. :) Wood Elf, Human, and Dwarf are other good core choices. To go with your delicious pounce, I recommend taking Whirling Frenzy instead of rage, if the source is allowed (UA, and online SRD) [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/classFeatureVariants.htm#rageVariantWhirlingFrenzy]Class Feature Variants :: d20srd.org[/url] Note you can flurry with ANY weapon as written...even a bow! My last Barb actually did that once or twice. To deal with flyers...just buy an item, really. DMG has the boots which are likely enough to cover some duels. You may want to ask to pay more for a higher caster level, to make such an important item harder to dispel (those d4 rounds could be killer). Might want to ask to do this for any item you deem critical to fight a caster with. FB is probably the best class togo into as a Barbarian, if that's your question. The best class to choose overall would be a wizard, druid, sorc, or cleric, but I'm sure you knew that. :) Oh...one last piece of advice, iirc: The Defenders of the Faith has an item called armor of speed or some such. It basically gives you constant Haste for only +3 market price. Needless to say, it's stupidly broken and you should make sure to acquire it. [/QUOTE]
