Serpentine Bloodline Barbarian


Advice


Hi,
I was looking through the sorcerer bloodlines and after reading the serpentine bloodline 1st level blood line power, I thought it would be awesome on a melee character with the eldritch heritage feat.

I believe the class that is most dependent on constitution is the barbarian. Raising HP and also the save DC of the fangs poison. Might get some charisma for intimidate and more uses of the bite attack.

Anyone wants to help me build it? I never made a barbarian before, so I don't know a lot about rage powers. Is there a rage power that would benefits to the serpentine fangs?

"Serpent’s Fang (Ex): At 1st level, you can grow fangs as a free action. These fangs are treated as a natural weapon inflicting 1d4 points of damage plus your Strength modifier (1d3 if you are Small) plus poison (Bite—injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Constitution modifier; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1 Con damage; cure 1 save). At 5th level, these fangs are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming DR and the poison damage increases to 1d2 Con. At 7th level, your poison requires 2 successful saves to cure. At 11th level, your poison damage increases to 1d4 Con. You can use your fangs for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier."


Get the feat raging vitality. It ups your con by 2 while raging and you don't come out of rage when you are unconscious.


You might also look at a monk using feral combat training to flurry with the bite.

With the barbarian though you might look at savage dirty trick to sicken the enemy and possibly nauseate it, or intimidating glare to give the enemy shaken. Or other means of intimidating like cornugon smash.


Beast Totem is good chain of rage powers because you can get a full attack at the end of a charge. This would pair nicely with Savage Dirty Trick.
