What do you guys and gals think of my build?
I built it with 20 point buy and didn't add any magic gear. I was also thinking for playability Barbarian 10 Chevalier 3 and finish the restbarbarian. I didn't build it for a specific game just for fun.

Looks good. Maybe trade out a few of the extra rage power feats for furious focus and vital strike.

Furious focus at lvl 1

Officially improved dr cannot be taken by an invulnerable rager

[beemer4188]

Why/where is that?

It was in a relatively recent FAQ. You can't take increased DR rage power as an invulnerable rager.

Smite evil 1/day
Aura of courage- immune to fear
Immune to poison
No AC penalty while charging combined with pounce!
+3 moral bonus on attack and damage rolls in the first round of combat.

How to play:
Rage, charge the biggest baddest enemy as soon as possible full attack, as soon as he falls charge the next biggest baddest and repeated until all the badies are dead. In the first round of combat you should be doing over 200 points of damage.

I don't think taking chevalier is worth giving up rage powers and mighty rage for one smite evil a day that is subpar thanks to your low charisma.

[beemer4188]

Good point new stats 20 pt buy still:
Str-17
Dex-13
Con-14
Int-7
Wis-10
Cha-13
Racial and all level advancements to strength

I may boost cha more and go for an intimidate build with the later feats instead of the step up line

[Cory Stafford 29]

Unless you want to go the intimidate route and have some social skills, your original build that takes all 20 levels as barbarian instead would be better. If you want to have a good charisma, you would be better off with bloodrager 20 or barb/sorcerer/dragon disciple/eldritch knight. 3 levels of chevalier gives you aura of courage (not too bad) and a smite that gives you a small bonus to hit and AC (depending on other deflection bonuses) and +3, sometimes +6 to damage per hit that gets through dr. Not worth it at all when you lose a few high level rage powers and mighty rage. You are better off pumping str and con as much as you can and spending a good chunk of your gold on a +5 weapon that will ignore practically all dr in the game.

I was thinking for more RP reasons for the Chevalier levels and giving him a +5 holy bane (demon/devil/undead/dragon whatever fits the campaign) and make him a paly wannabe type and I also choose Chevalier to get a better will save as I am not a fan of superstition.
