So I've been DMing a while and my friend always makes the most unbalanced chars for his gf that doesn't even play in my games. This time it's his turn to DM and I get to make a char for his game.
I'm trying to make the most min/maxed broken barbarian ever. Here's what I have so far (we're level 15)
Level 11 Barbarian / Level 4 Alchemist
Subclass : Titan Mauler
Race: Ogre
2 Alch discoveries : vestigial arms
Giving me a 4 armed barbarian ogre
Planning on making him quad-wield large greataxes
bought stats (20 pts)
Str 18
Dex 17
Con 12
Wis 7
Int 7
Cha 7
Should I go with this or "six-weild" a kasathan titan mauler barbarian?

Barbarian 1/wizard 19
Already said, but you can't use vestigal arms to make more attacks.
Superstitious beast totem barbarian who just pounces everthing is plenty powerful enough already, honestly. Barbarians are super easy to optimise.
At level 15 nothing you do with a barb is going to be that scary though. You should be aiming for a full caster if you want to actually break the game.
Here's an idea though:
Instead of being passive-aggressive, why not just try to have some fun? I hear that's the point of playing RPGs, although maybe you'll disagree.
I'm not being passive-aggressive. I told him I was going to make a broken char and we both chuckled.
So wizard huh, never played anything this high so I don't really know what's crazy or not.

Why would you do that when you already get pounce and natural attacks from Beast Totem anyway? Why even take the Swashbuckler level?
I'd personally go for Savage Technologist/Breaker with double barrel guns.
Because Fox Form gives you a huge size bonus to dex. Swashbuckler is there for deed access. Mouser to capitalize on your tiny size, or pure for access to opportune parry and riposte for melee attack negation.
RAGELANCEPOUNCE
Give him the following stats.
Strength 7, dexterity 7, Constitution 7, intelligence 20, wisdom 15, charisma 15
If you want to do crazy things play a wizard.
If you just want to do lots of damage:
-BarBar
-Invulnerable Rager
-Beast Totem
-Come and Get Me
Barbarians can do more than a lot of damage though. Not as much narrative power as the Wizard for sure, but rage powers like Spell Sunder, Savage Dirty Trick, and Terrifying Howl give you many more options than most any other martial.

This is not a Barbarian but it is close.
Half-Orc Primalist Spelleater Bloodrager 15
Alternate Racial Traits: Sacred Tattoo and Shaman's Apprentice
20 point buy: Str: 17, Dex: 14, Con: 16, Int: 10, Wis: 12, Cha: 12
Trait 1: Optimistic Gambler
Trait 2: Dangerously Curious or Accelerated Drinker
Build By Level:
1 HD: Feats- Endurance(Shaman's Apprentance) and Die Hard, fast movement, bloodrage, Disruptive Bloodrage (Su)
2 HD: Blood of Life(Su) Notice the SU in that ability.
3 HD: Feat-Fast Healer, Blood sanctuary
(because of Blood of Life your fast healing IS magical)
4 HD: eschew materials, Blood casting, Arcane Bloodrage (Sp)
5 HD: Feat-Raging Vitality, Spell Eating (Su)
(another source of Magical healing in spell eating and Raging Vitality makes your CON effectively higher and you don't end rage while unconscious so you can fast heal while down to stabilize and get back up)
6 HD: Bloodline Feat- Power Attack
7 HD: Feat- Arcane Strike
8 HD: Greater Arcane Bloodrage (Sp)
(Doesn't every melee frontliner want Displacement to add layered defense to your AC...amazing ability to have as a free action)
9 HD: Feat- Bloodied Arcane Strike, Bloodline Feat- Iron Will
10 HD:
11 HD: Feat- Improved Critical- ,Greater bloodrage
12 HD: Bloodline Feat- Disruptive, Primal Choices: Superstitious & Witch Hunter
(your giving up Caster's Scourge (Ex) for 2 rage powers. You should already be a caster's worst nightmare with Disruptive Bloodrage (Su), Disruptive feat, and spellbreaker feat. Now add in more damage your doing to casters and increasing your saves seems more important to me)
13 HD: Feat- Raging Brutality, Fast Healing/ 7
(Currently your fast healing should be 7 without any magic items boosting con...you should invest in a belt of +4 Str and Con IMHO)
14 HD: Indomitable will
15 HD: Feat- Combat Reflexes ,Bloodline Feat- Spellbreaker
You would need to gear him right and pick the weapon you want to bring death with. But with the build above your looking at a Base of Fast Healing 7, Amazing Saves, Great Damage Potential, and being a scourge to casters or anything with a SLA.
Not broken in any terms but very very strong with lots of flavor and without the boredom of a Invulnerable Rager Barbarian.
Pick your spells wisely and you can threaten huge areas. And at the end you can easily trade out the last 2 arcane powers for the beast totem line and Come and Get me just to mimic the feel of a classic barbarian.
