[QUOTE="CTurbo, post: 7211189, member: 6855234"] Here are a couple other off the wall ideas. If you rolled for stats and have a good Char(prob 16 or better), you could take 3 or 4 levels of Paladin of Devotion to get a fighting style, some extra healing, and be able to add your char mod to attack rolls not to mention a few spells you could use when not raging. I've seen a 20 Char Devotion Pally completely negate the -5 to hit from the GWM feat and he was ridiculous. It may even be worth it to take 6 levels of Pally for Aura of Protection and even more healing. Lay on Hands is 5hp per level. Also, you get that sweet sweet Divine Smite which you could use while raging and never cast a single spell haha. And here is an even more off the wall idea, If you have a good Wis(16 or higher), you could take 9 levels of Cleric(War, Tempest, or even Life) and be able to cast Greater Restoration on yourself after Frenzy Raging. Obviously, this would be best if you do not already have a party member capable of casting this. If you do, this is not so great. I know at this point, you'd basically be a Holy Cleric with anger issues but I see this build having tremendous RP potential. You would be much more well rounded as a character and have much more to do outside of combat. 11 levels of Barb would still make you a beast IN combat. War Cleric lets you get that bonus attack meaning you wouldn't have to frenzy so quick. Tempest lets you clear most of the battlefield before you even need to rage. Life is hilarious as the mean raging Barbarian heals all of his buddies after he just killed all of the bad guys. and mark my words, one of these days, I am going to play a Wizard/Barbarian. I will play him as a straight wizard until he is attacked at which point the light switch will be flipped and he will lose his **** and go crazy lol. I know this character will have to have rolled stats to not be completely terrible, but he'll be fun for sure. [/QUOTE]
