Well, 3 out of 4 characters in my current game just died due to a mummy paralyzing them all and coup-de-gras doom, so I have to make a new 6th level character.
We roll stats, I got 12, 12, 14, 14, 14, 15.
I want to make a front line fighter (because I am sick of hearing people whine about my characters being too defensive. He was a lvl 5 Sorcerer, but whatever)
I am thinking of doing a rage prophet with the Metal Mystery. Probably a half-orc with favored class bonus going towards extra rage rounds.
Any advice?
P.S. I know I can't actually become a rage prophet until next level :p

Advice: don't go rage prophet. Its class abilities are mostly caster-based and won't be that useful for a melee character. If you want a raging divine caster, a cleric (or inquisitor) with rage domain is probably better.
A metal Oracle should be decent enough in melee combat. No need to delay you spell progression by going barn and prophet. Remember that faster spell progression also means access to better melee buffs sooner.
And on a side note: don't let the other player dictate you character. ;)

I've been playing a Barbarian/ Battle Oracle in one of my D&D games, and I've really enjoyed it. We're just now turning 5th level, and I'm easily the most powerful character on the table. Half-Orc w/Falchion love, and one level of barbarian is very nasty. I would also advise against going Rage Prophet, unless you are just sold on it. You give up too much.
