Building a ... well unchained barbarian to try out.
I was just going to use the base, not yet wanting to try an archetype on em yet.
I was thinking of adding heavy armor proficiency and ending up with mithral full plate instead of the normal breastplate. I would drop furious focus for the armor feat.
Really just looking for opinions on Barbarians wearing heavy mithral armor and being less accurate because of it.
Heavy armor is a constant but has the armor higher armor check penalty. Mithral full-plate will be +9 AC and i will still have a speed of 40, The only way to get +9 AC from a breastplate is +3 enchantment, which is over 9000! Which is still cheaper then Mithral full-plate but the full plate will only cost 1,000 to get to +10AC vs the enchanted Breastplate's 7,000.
Furious Focus is only once a round and on the best chance you have to hit with to begin with. If i am that worried about mission i would not use power attack anyways.
Thoughts? Opinions? Did i miss something?
