but you have a net -2 to stats when most races have a net +2, and the light sensitivity is annoying. You can actually trade the SLA to play russian roullette on a d% table and hope to land an additional +2 str, btw. That leaves your options at:Īasimar: There is a variant blooded Aasimar that gets +2 Str, +2 Cha, and you can take the Scion of Humanity variant racial feature to count as humanoid. Unfortunately, PF hates melee, and there are very very few str-boosting races, and a few that do exist are outsiders. You also want to be a valid target for Enlarge Person. If you are going Orc you might as well make a Scarred Witch Doctor and have more hp in the long run and find a way to cast "rage" on yourself haha.Īs a Barbarian, you want a race w/ a Str bonus. They don't have the pajazz as human/half elf. If your DM allows racial heritage (or if it already counts.not sure) to be taken by half elves (human feat) then you could get superstition rage power on a half elf and never worry about saves again.ĭwarves make good barbarians but. One less feat to take later when you can take "extra rage power" instead of something like step up (which is great but rage powers > most feats). If you are starting high level then it is good - great.
Humans beat out half elves in my opinion but then again I don't think Superstitious is cheesy (unlike one of my friends who thinks the game should be called "Casters"). Both of these will give you a bonus to str, medium size, and higher than normal will saves. Being a small barbarian while your mount (elephant/tiger/whatever) rages is pretty fun.įor this Barbarian the two best races are Human and Half Elf. So, Elves, Gnomes and Halflings are probably out, Humans and Dwarves are good, Half-Orcs have some useful racial abilities.Well for this build then yeah but do note the Mounted Rager. Still not that broken, but Spell Sunder + Strength Surge, Eater of Magic, and Flesh Wound all benefit quite a bit from the combo. You can now do single round rages to turn 1/rage powers into 1/round powers. Non-Oracle levels count as half levels for curse advancement, so 8 Barb + 1 Oracle = 5th level oracle = fatigue immunity. You should also be dipping 1 level into Oracle at anytime before 9th level. But, since your AoOs happen before your foe's attacks, the prospect of ending his turn (by dazing him) before he can even do anything is just yummy.
It's not required, and will cut down your damage output by ending the foe's turn early.
I would also suggest picking up the Dazing Assault feat (requires BAB +12, so if you dipped Oracle - see below - you should be getting both it and Come and Get Me at level 13). You also want Come and Get Me (with Combat Reflexes feat) as soon as you hit Barbarian 12. Human w/ Superstition and its offspring rage powers (witch hunter, ghost fighter, spell sunder, eater of magic) is a very solid way to go, too.įor archetype you generally want Invulnerable Rager.
