I might go 16/14/14/10/10/10 if this is a 15 point buy instead, but yeah, the idea is generally good.

You need lesser beast totem before getting beast totem though. So that determines level 4 rage power, I guess.

Oh, and the weapon you should aim for is a +1 fortuitous furious (whatever kind of polearm). The furious property gives your weapon an exta +2 enhancement bonus while you are raging. The fortuitous property lets you add in an extra AoO at BAB -5 once per round (as in, the enemy provokes 1 AoO, but you get to have two in; this is basically a full attack as an AoO)

Also, for reach builds, I like to grab lunge at level 6-7. This feat lets you set things up to get more AoOs. Normally, when you attack an enemy, they end up 10' away, and they only need a 5' step to reach you (so no AoO and they can full attack). With lunge, you can leave enemies 15' away, which means that many have to move 10' to reach you (and thus you get an AoO and they probably lose their full attack). That makes this feat a good offense and defense.

1. I would switch the constitution and dex.

2. You are also going to need lesser beast totem. Pick it up at level 4 unless you decide to use a feat to pick it up at 3 or 5

3. Are you using point buy or were those rolled stats, and has the +2 from being human been added in yet?

4. If those are the final stats then pick up combat reflexes as your level 5 feat. Take Cleave since it basically gives you an automatic free attack*.

*I am assuming you can retrain it later. If not that might not be the best idea.

5. Since you only have a wisdom of 10 take iron will. Raging against the party will not be appreciated.

6. Just stay with invulnerable rager, and take the feat that allows you to continue raging even if you are unconscious.

7. For your traits change on of them to up your will save by 1, unless you are sure your GM won' be targeting will saves too much. If your GM likes to use monsters they will also start to have reach so there will be less provoking. Keep that in consideration so that you don't put everything into attacks of opportunity and not get to use them as much as you would like.

Clear mind is a great rage power for level 8. It lets you reroll a failed will save 1/rage.

it's a 20 PB. Why switching CON and DEX? DEX is worth for AoO, no?

About monsters, i don't know...GM gonna master Kingmaker

Well, you have 3 AoOs per round with 14 dex. Often, you will not be taking that many (having the reserves are nice of course). By the time that you have options that need more AoOs, you can grab a belt that gives you +DEX.

Also, where are your points going? That looks like 5/7/2/0/0/0 to me.
I mean, it could be 10/3/2/0/0/0 if you had put your racial modifier into dex instead. Is this preracial adjustment scores?

[Code 415]

yes is preracial

How often is come and get me going to work with a reach weapon? Anything that's medium or smaller will not be threatened by your weapon when they are actually able to hit you unless they are also using a reach weapon. Unless come and get me negates the need to actually threaten or normally be able to hit that square, in which case that is awesome.

[Rodinia]

When you are actually high enough level that Come and get Me finally kicks in you'll have to reconsider your weapon. Versus short-reach foes the reach weapon may be a problem. Versus foes with reach, which will likely be most of them by that exalted level, a non-reach weapon may be a problem. Perhaps keep your options open.

is full of open-spaces fights, so i'm mostly worried about reach foes... i don't think there will be a lot of melee enemies...mostly of them will surely stay behind a tree shooting their arrows on you.
