Raised by a traveling group of human monks, rescued from a circus as a small child, Ten-gu knows nothing of his history or his kind.
Emulating the ferocity of the eagle and focus of the owl his natural cousins, Ten-Gu wades into battle a scion of fluid destruction.
Taking a name found in an old tome showing a creature that resembles him as his battle name, Ten-gu wanders the land doing good.

What do you'all think?
With the Tengu favored class bonus and building a superstitious barb, this just seemed fun.
If you are using Deadly Agility, this should probably go on the 3pp Advice forum.
I messed up and selected deadly agility at level one forgetting I was not human.
This means my attacks will be hitting at +5 and only doing 1d3 + 2 until level 3.
Thinking I will go with these choices of rage powers/feats. Any suggestions?

As far as I can see the superstitious bonus should scale like this. Is this correct?
Superstitious Bonus
1: N/A
2: +2 (Base) + [1/3] (Favored Class) = +2
3: +2 (Base) + [2/3] (Favored Class) = +2
4: +2 (Base) + [3/3] (Favored Class) + 1 (Advancement) = +4
5: +2 (Base) + [4/3] (Favored Class) + 1 (Advancement) = +4
6: +2 (Base) + [5/3] (Favored Class) + 1 (Advancement) = +4
7: +2 (Base) + [6/3] (Favored Class) + 1 (Advancement) = +5
8: +2 (Base) + [7/3] (Favored Class) + 2 (Advancement) = +6
9: +2 (Base) + [8/3] (Favored Class) + 2 (Advancement) = +6
10: +2 (Base) + [9/3] (Favored Class) + 2 (Advancement) = +7
11: +2 (Base) + [10/3] (Favored Class) + 2 (Advancement) = +7
12: +2 (Base) + [11/3] (Favored Class) + 3 (Advancement) = +8
13: +2 (Base) + [12/3] (Favored Class) + 3 (Advancement) = +9
14: +2 (Base) + [13/3] (Favored Class) + 3 (Advancement) = +9
15: +2 (Base) + [14/3] (Favored Class) + 3 (Advancement) = +9
16: +2 (Base) + [15/3] (Favored Class) + 4 (Advancement) = +11
17: +2 (Base) + [16/3] (Favored Class) + 4 (Advancement) = +11
18: +2 (Base) + [17/3] (Favored Class) + 4 (Advancement) = +11
19: +2 (Base) + [18/3] (Favored Class) + 4 (Advancement) = +12
20: +2 (Base) + [18/3] (Favored Class) + 5 (Advancement) = +13
The problem is not the level you pick it, it's that the feat is third party and you are asking in the official advice sub forum, next time ask in the 3pp advice one.
Secret Wizard I am asking for advice on the entire build.
Still the wrong place.
Also there's no point to use weapon finesse with this build. All you do is miss out on damage, feats and HP.
What do you mean? Please explain.
You are taking Urban Barbarian, which loses +4 CON when getting +4 DEX, loses fast movement, loses medium armor proficiency...
You spend two feats on Weapon Finesse and Deadly Agility, which have no benefit except saving you points at character creation which could be spent better, and you are still TWO FEATS down when compared with a regular Barbarian.
Compare:
Tengu (Carrion Sense + Deft Swords)
T: Berserker of the Society, Indomitable Faith
Att: S16 D14+2 C15-2 I10 W10+2 CH8
C: Unchained Barbarian
Arch: Invulnerable Rager
Pips:
LV4. +1 CON
LV8. +1 STR
LV12. + STR
F:
LV1. Power Attack
LV3. Combat Reflexes
LV5. Iron Will
LV7. Martial Focus
LV9. Cut form the Air
LV11. Smash from the Air
R:
LV2. Superstitious
LV4. Witch Hunter
LV6. Quick Reflexes
LV8. Increased Damage Resistance
LV10. Increased Damage Resistance
LV12. Taunting Stance
At level 12th, with rage and without magic items, we are looking at:
S18 D16 C14 I10 W12 CH8
AC (with breastplate) 17 (who cares), DR 10
FORT 10 / REF 7 / WILL 10 (can reroll will saves with Clear Mind) + Superstitious
HP 12+11d12+24+36 temporary HP
Katana +15/+10/+5 (1d8+22, 18-20/2x) (Get a +4 bonus to damage and spell suppression thanks to Witch Hunter against certain targets)
5 attacks of opportunity per round, can use them to: exploit Taunting Stance; Cut from the Air ranged attacks; Smash from the Air fatter ranged attacks or rays.
Note that this build has more AC at 1st level than yours while raging because Steel Lamellar is a thing.
Ah the idea behind the build was to use his natural attacks.
Oh, I see! All the better then, because your primary natural attack (bite) deals 1.5x Strength on damage.
If you went with Claws, it'd be redundant to get the Beast Totem, which gives you more Claws.
I'd try to take advantage of the free Improved Unarmed Strike feat probably. You could totally add Dodge and Crane Style and deal a ton of damage with Bite + Claw and keep one Claw free to use Crane Style (which fits a Crow).
