can my lvl 1 NG oracle take 2 lvls of barbarian, switch alignments to, you guessed it, LG, take 3 lvls of pali and then go into rage prophet. specifically, do i gain:

Savage Seer

A rage prophet’s class level stacks with barbarian levels for determining the effect of his rage powers, oracle revelations, and his oracle’s curse. This does not grant additional abilities.

I've looked around the forums a bit and the general consensus on ex-barbarians were that they can't take more levels of barbarian. does this seemingly twist around it? no additional abilities as listed above but could i still take extra rage? does it still stack? do i hear LG Barbarian legal?


if you switch to an alignment Barbarians cant be they loose the ability to rage. there was an errata about it concerning monk/barbs.

In the RAW, the barbarian no longer has an ex-barbarian entry. I do have some concerns about folks (specifically in an org play environment) just willy-nilly changing their alignment, but I'm not sure if those concerns warrant me doing anything about them.

I will warn the OP, however, that the line in the rage that says you can't use any ability that requires patience or concentration is open to interpretation by any GM you sit down with. So you could eventually be a Barbarian 1/Monk 7 who needs to use wholeness of body while raging to survive and the GM could feasibly say, "You can't use wholeness of body while raging." which could necessarily mean character death. I'm not going to go through the entire core classes section and list every ability that, in my opinion, requires patience and concentration, but keep in mind you're leaving your entire concept pretty much open to interpretation by any GM you play with.

i could find no such errata for pfs. this is what joshua said but it is from february so an errata is quite a possibility. but could i still gain "levels of barbarian" for purposes of rage powers like superstitious which give a static modifier with no need of rage

It's in the 3rd printing core rulebook errata (October 2010).

If you already had Superstitious, you could add your ex-barbarian levels and rage prophet levels to determine its effect.
