I am currently building a character for an AP and have decided on the urban barbarian. i have wanting to know what different build types go well to keep it the heavy hitter for the group while trying to go dex based with it. I have done heavy hitters before but am trying to take a new route with this one. any ideas

Ancestral Arms Half-Elf Scout Unchained Rogue 3 / Invulnerable Rager Urban Barbarian X, focusing in Elven Curve Blade.

Race EWP - Elven Curve Blade
CL1 Rog1 ???, Finesse Training - Weapon Finesse
CL2 Rog2 Weapon Training - Weapon Focus (Elven Curve Blade)
CL3 Rog3 ???* Finesse Training (Elven Curve Blade)
CL4 Brb1
CL5 Brb2 Power Attack, Reckless Abandon

* Retrain to Raging Vitality at lv4

After this, you can pretty much go nuts with how you want to run your Barbarian

Here's a really crazy build, but a fun one:

ROGUE 3 / URBAN BARBARIAN 2 / WARPRIEST X

Race Improved Unarmed Strike*

CL2 Rog2 Weapon Training - Weapon Focus (Unarmed Attack)
CL3 Rog3 ???** Finesse Training (Elven Curve Blade)
CL4 Brb1
CL5 Brb2 Extra Rage Power - Lesser Fiend Totem, Lesser Draconic Blood
CL6 Wrp1 Weapon Focus - Claw, Improved Unarmed Strike
Cl7 Wrp2
CL8 Wrp3 ???***
CL9 Wrp4 Extra Rage Power - Animal Fury

* Retrain to Feral Combat Training at lv6
** Retrain to Raging Vitality at lv4
*** Retrain to Martial Versatility (Feral Combat Training at lv9

i like the first one i will change Power attack for the pirahna strike and add adgile so i wont stress the str as much


You realize Pirahna Strike won't work with an Elven Curved Blade right? Unless I'm remembering it wrong.

Edit: Nooe, still light weapons only.

You... that doesn't make any sense. How would you be stressing Str in the slightest when you don't use it at all?

3 levels of Rogue already nets you Dex to Damage on all attacks, including 2-handed attacks (in which case you deal 1.5x Dex damage); Power Attack + Reckless Abandon gives you -1AC / +3 Damage on those attacks (Power Attack still works with a Rogue's Finesse Training)

I was under the impression power attak didnt work with dex so had to use pirahna stike

And also thought pirahana strike was for dex based weapons.. Been awhile since i had read it though
