When to go Barbarian as Foehammer (Dwarf)


Advice

Silver Crusade

First I want to make clear that I play PFS so the Char starts at LvL1.
So for each Level I need to play 3 Sccenarios.

I want to Build a Foehammer Dwarf with the Thunder and Fang Feat
(Earthbreaker/Klar as a TWF Combo) its needs 4 Feats to Reach:
TWF , Weapon Focus (EarthBreaker/Klar) and Thunder and Fang.

I reach this earliest as a pure fighter at LvL 3.
After that I want to take 2 Levels in Barbarian since the Foehammer looses Armor Training I will wear Medium Armor and will benefit greatly from Fastmovement additionally to Rage.

My Main Question however is: the +4 to Strength and +10 to movement are Huge. Should I postpone the Thunder and Fang to level 4 and gain the Barbarian earlier? or Even start as him?

PS: A Dwarf Barbarian in Medium Armor has a speed of 30. My GM approved it and please don't hijack this thread to discuss it here.

Silver Crusade

I just realized that its maybe not a discussion.
Taking Barbarian First and then 2 Levels in Fighter I automatically have 4 Feats on LvL 3. I only loose the Benefits +2 to BR and Trip attemps from the Archtype, which are irrelevant.


Yes, I would highly suggest barbarian at level 1. At 1st level barbarian is quite possibly the strongest melee class IMHO.

And yes, a dwarf barbarian had 30 movespeed even if he is wearing medium armor, I can't really imagine an argument against that.

Edit: Thank you Alex Mack for correcting me. I forgot that stipulation on barbarian speed.

Actually not in Heavy Armor...


Foehammer? Didn't she die on Installation 4?
