I am playing a human Invulnerable Rager (Barbarian) in a Viking campaign. The game is high stat, low magic. The campaign pits us against winter witches in a society which disbelieves and detests magic and thus I have chosen to go for a Superstition build.
I missed out on a few games and was allowed to level from level 3 to 5. So now I am undecided about my feat and ragepower
I don’t want a Vital Strike build, I have had one on my previous character. Since healing will be low, I have been looking at the Renewed Vigor or Witch Hunter ragepowers.
My current build is as following:
Level 5 Invulnerable Rager (Barbarian) wielding a 2H Sword
STR 20
DEX 14
CON 16
INT 11
WIS 12
CHA 9
Feats:
1 Power attack and cleave
3 Raging Vitality
Rage powers:
2 Superstition
I have been thinking about the spellbreaker and come and get me chains. But both of them are only allowed at level 8. I have no clue what to do in the meantime.
Any advice?
Hey guys,
first off, thanks for the advice.
Extra rage power.
Get beast totem lesser and reckless abandon. Always use reckless abandon
I do not like the beast totem chain. I know a lot of people use it for the AC and pounce, but in my oppinion you can not claw/claw/bite/2h sword. And I really want the 2H.
Funny I almost forgot about reckless abondan. Thanks!Stalwart is good feat to have as well. Although it doesn't mesh too well with your build since you already have raging vitality (the prerequisite diehard does the same thing pretty much). Spell sunder is nice with strength surge. Ghost rager is nice since it gives you ghost touch and improves your touch ac.
Althoug Stalwart DR stacks with the Barbarians DR, it takes up three feats in total, making it hard to get to Come and get me. Ghostrager looks cool, but I can not get that until level 6 ;)
One method to use is go racial heritage (changeling) and then mothers gift feat for spell resistance. It's costly but would fit the theme and is good enough to be playable.
As for rage powers I favor beast totem chain for this as getting natural armor that scales is very welcome. Guarded stance is also a worthy choice for more defense when needed.
In general when you don't have a feat that stands out to you as a must get at this level, get extra rage or toughness as you can't go wrong with them.
guess for now it will be an extra rage power. Probably witch hunter and reckless abandon.
thanks all
No need to use your claws with 2-handed swords. No-one ever said you should. Pounce+nat armor is worth 3 rage powers, even if you ignore your natural weapons.
Anyway, are you a dwarf? Because then there's that feat that adds +2 to the supernatural half of Hardy.
