[QUOTE="MadLordOfMilk, post: 4523003, member: 77691"] I'd say the chainmail feat is definitely worth it. It's gonna make a HUGE AC difference. You could of course consider dropping it and shifting some points over to dex which would give you more initiative, some skill bonuses, and more rounded saves... but less STR/CON in exchange for it. I'd rather use the feat and keep my str/con up as high as possible but that's just me. I made a Warforged Barbarian (lv2) and actually went up to Scale Armor but I have yet to playtest him (working on getting my current character killed in our campaign...). You have Blade Sweep written incorrectly. You missed this little clause: "Rageblood Vigor: Each enemy adjacent to you, bloodied or not, takes damage equal to your Constitution modifier." Considering Rageblood Vigor was the only option in the playtest, you definitely have it, so they don't need to be bloodied for it to effect them. I would've probably picked the same powers. Recuperating strike doesn't really scale well into higher levels I'd think, Avalanche Strike is insanely awesome, Primal Vitality vs Great Leap you could go either way but I much preferred Great Leap (and that also scales well into later levels), Hammer Fall could be useful but it really depends on your group setup (Blade Sweep is gonna have more straight damage output, hammer fall is more useful for helping your group. the former is much more... barbarian.) As far as magic items I don't have the book yet so I can't really comment :[ But I do know that Greataxes are FTW as far as the stuff in the PHB. [/QUOTE]
