Advice


In an upcoming game, non-pfs, I was asked to build a brute massive strength. Using a 25 point buy, Angel-blooded Aasimar as the race, Titan mauler barbarian 2, eldritch scion magus 3 dragon disciple 2 for a total of lvl 7. My GM challenged me to make the brute so allowed me to drop the spell like for another +2 strength. Ive taken power attack, and furious focus. The question is is this viable? Anything people can think of to hit harder?


I went barbarian magus to allow casting and still holding my 2h weapon in one hand. Also magus/dragon disciple is based on brass for fire resistance that is required for an upcoming battle/campaign arch


You can't cast spells while raging, even with eldritch scion, so combining magus and barbarian is a no-go.

Either go Invlunerable Rager 7 or Bloodrager with a spell-storing weapon.


More than 4 leves of DD is probably a waste. The first four levels are quite nice, though.

I'd probably take a level in Mutagenic Mauler Brawler if I were you. It lasts 10 minutes, which should be enough to let you take it before combat in most circumstances. It gives +2 nat AC, and +4 strength.

Something like Mutagenic Mauler 1/Bloodrager(draconic bloodline) 4/Dragon Disciple 2 could work out. You'll have +6 base attack too.

If you think your game will reach 11th level and beyond, the feats that allow you to dip into the Orc Sorcerer Bloodline will be good. They give you up to +6 str, eventually.

At seventh level, this build will have 25(18+4aasimar+2Disciple+1lvl4)str, +2 from a belt, +4 while raging, and +4 more while under the effects of mutagen, for a total of 35 strength.

That should be plenty for any purposes, although your 'standard' strength is only 27, or 31 if only one of your buffs are active.


I'm sorry I should have clarified. I went barbarian, magus for while I'm not raging, I can still 1h a great sword to have a free hand. I could then 2h the sword and rage if spells are low, or spells arent required due to damage output vs weak targets.
