I'm gearing up to GM the First Steps scenarios for PFS and need to make a new character to give credit to. I've decided I want to make a caster killing barbarian. Here is my proposed build.
Dwarf Barbarian (Invulnerable
Str:17 Dex:15 Con:16 Int:7 Wis:12 Cha:7
Traits: Glory of Old & Reactionary
1: Power Attack
2: Superstitious
3: Combat Reflexes
4: Witch Hunter
5: Improved Sunder
6: Spell Sunder
7: Raging Vitality
8: Clear Mind
9: Greater Sunder
10: Eater of Magic
11: Dazing Assault
12: Fearless Rage
So I had an extremely tough time picking feats and even the order in which I should take them. I am not sure if Combat Reflexes is a must, nor Raging Vitality. Greater Sunder and Improved Sunder are there only for the Spell Sunder ability, not sure if Greater Sunder is necessary.
I wish I could have included the feats Steel Soul and Improved Initiative. I had originally planned on pursuing the Step Up & Strike tree, but though it might be too feat intensive and may be shut down by defensive castings.
I also considered the rage powers Disruptive and Spellbreaker, but feel they could be wasted picks. I also feel the level requirement is too high on these abilities. Having Reckless Abandon seems like a no brainer for a Barbarian, yet I didn't find a place for it in my progression...
Finally I was considering the Invulnerable Rager archetype, because DR/- is great. I was also considering the Superstitious archetype, but I am not sure if it is superior to the Invulnerable.
Well, any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I would go for a few feats...
Crush your enemies - Power attack
See them Driven before you - Step up. Just to keep them from getting away. I would drop sunder for this one, and not worry about a feat tree.
Hear the Lamentations of the Women - Iron Will. You will get alot of heat from spell casters, and as such could use the bonus.
I was considering taking step up instead of combat reflexes, or perhaps delaying combat reflexes and dropping greater sunder.
Steel soul looks like it'd be more useful than Iron Will as it gives +2 to all saves.
I appreciate the advice.

Best Conan reference I've seen on these boards. Kudos to you!
