Fun feats / other stuff to do? (barbarian / ranger multiclass)

[alexanderb]

any tips on how to simply make my character more fun to play, without just sabotaging or doing unambiguously stupid stuff? welp... I might actually sort of guilty of that already, but OK.

my char has three levels in barbarian, and I'm now going to get three in ranger, then head back to barbarian (if we ever play that long, heh). also, I'm a half-elf, so both are favoured classes.

my "story" thus far: 2x fleet and wearing light armour, so I have a base speed of 50. I use a magical masterwork scythe, and when money finds its way in my direction I'm going to add something funky to that. I also have skill focus intimidate. (he's always picking a fight, and my DM lets me use STR on intimidate instead of CHA.)

abilities:
20 STR
13 DEX
18 CON
10 INT
15 WIS <--- planning on increasing this with my first ranger level
6 CHA

3 skill ranks in Climb, Intimidate, Knowledge (Nature), Perception & Survival. planning on getting 2 in Acrobatics with my first ranger level, and increase the others to 4.

I also have the Intimidating Glare rage power.

so basically I want tips for facepalm or laugh out loud feats (and other fun things) I can do. obscure third party stuff is allowed if it's not overpowered.

Optimization threads alway shoot this down, but I luv the combat maneuvers. Push the bad guy down the stairs. Pin the guy in the muddy creek. Disarm the guy aming the wand at you. Trip the guy on the castle wall. Sunder the archers bow.

Doesn't always work, but hilarious when it does.

yeah. this and called shot to the crotch are classics. I did the latter during our last session, and suddenly there was a man stuck to my scythe, in the same fashion as fish v. fish hook. (all of this is in a *social campaign*, for the record.)

I've always been a fan of Catch Off Guard, Improvising weapons is cool.

[alexanderb]

my character has a lot of affection to spare for his inventory, and is thus likely to have a tight grip around his scythe at all times. with that said, I do enjoy improvised weapons. I've even gone hunting with them a few times. (grappling hook against pigeon = great success.)

the main drawback of this feat though, is that I feel sort of obliged to continue and get the Improvised Weapon Master feat (I think that's what it's called), so I was more looking for one off facepalm feats... but I'll consider it. it's a fun route, and one I hadn't given much thought really... so thanks for the idea. :-)
