Preferably the iconic one in the Skyrim trailer. How would you make one?

I don't know what this is?
sorry. just edited.
This probably belongs in Homebrew, rather than Advice.
I've contemplated this one myself. The only magics the iconic Dovahkiin uses are the Dragon Shouts, so it's hard to say.

Sound Striker Bard?
I put it on advice because we're using official rules rather than homebrew ones.
Lol. Sound Striker Bard with performance Oratory? The problem with it is that it's damage and no trip or bullrush. I'm basically looking for a warrior-type build with aoe bullrush. Magus maybe? Is there a low level spell that can do this?
Perhaps a magus using the wordcasting rules in ultimate magic.
Interesting idea, but is there a way to make one without the extra rules? The closest things I've got are Hydraulic Torrent and the Barbarian rage power Energy Eruption.
Esh, maybe a barb/Monk (martial artist) + quin thing archtype so you can have some sort of shouty based powers? dragon style gives you a roar that stuns people.
GOT IT
Discordant Blast
Bard 4/ V, S
You create a wave of thunder and force, either in a 10-foot radius burst centered on you or in 30-foot cone-shaped burst.
Creatures in the area take 3d6 points of sonic damage and are pushed away as if bull rushed. Make a combat maneuver check and apply its results to each creature in the area. Your CMB for this bull rush is equal to your caster level plus your Charisma modifier. This bull rush does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A discordant blast cannot penetrate a silence spell (or any similar magical silence effect).
Bard 4 spells come at level 10 though.
Which is arguably the level you need to be in PF to defeat a dragon of that size with help...
Now the question is for PFS, Bard 12 or Bard 10/Something X? Also which Archetype? I'm thinking either Dervish Dancer, Arcane Warrior, or Savage Skald. The Sound Striker thing works too.
I wonder why this was moved. It's a build, not a conversion.
the wind blast from wind(air) domain in the APG may work too

This board includes both existing rule conversions(e.g. Temple of Elemental Evil to PF rules) and "build my fave fictional character" threads from how I see it.
Now, I'd actually go for magus myself, for a more martial feel. He doesn't get as many "shouts", but does get evocations and martial skill aplenty without relying on performance that the iconic dovahkiin, arguably, doesn't use.
Human Skirnir might fit the bill. Certainly includes the popular enchantment part of the game rather faithfully.
Some "shouty" spells include:
- Shout, naturally
- Firebreath, very draconic and iconic
- Gust of Wind is similar to hydraulic push, but more like exhaling
- Burst of Speed/Force Hook Charge, both can be used to represent the speed type shout the dovahkiin gains at the Throat of the World
- Dragon's Breath, well sure
- River of Wind/Wall of Sound, both make you a master of voice
Hope this helps someone, if you are vehement on going bard.
