PFS Barbarian (Unchained Rework)

[Krell44]

I am in the middle of reworking my Barbarian to the Unchained version and am going to look into a Reach-Build for the future.

My questions revolve around the weapon I should select: Currently I am leaning towards a Bardiche for decent damage and 19-20 threat range but am open to options. Is there something better out there in an additional book that I am not seeing in Ultimate Equipment?

Or, is there a Feat or Rage Power that I can use that gives my character reach (long arms or something like that) so that I can choose a more traditional 2Hander and be able to attack with Reach with it?

Without EWP the Bardiche is pretty much your best reach option. Situationally some others are better if you want to focus on combat maneuvers.

With EWP there are two other options which really stand out. The Fauchard is an 18-20/x2 weapon, whereas the Elven Branched Spear (Note: martial weapon for elves) gives a +2 bonus on attack rolls for attacks of opportunity provoked by movement. The branched spear is also finessable (and gets 1.5 dex to damage if you have 3 levels of unchained rogue) if you're working a dex build.

As for feats: Lunge; there's a long arms spell, and I think there might be a ragepower -- someone else might know off the top of their head.
