Hey folks, I'm in a Pathfinders game, where any race/class combo is allowed, but no (or very very rare) rezzes, so I want a backup in case I bite it.
Right now I'm playing a Half-ogre Psionic Warrior who uses a Large Mindblade Scythe. Last night one of out party members croaked, and pulled out a backup winged half-orc-dragonborn-half-black dragon ranger to play.
I want to go somewhere very few go.. so I'm thinking Pixie Barbarian.
We do stats at base 80 (stats start at 0, you have 80 build points, nothing above 20 before racials, nothing under 10 after racials), and Pixie racials are something like –4 Strength, +8 Dexterity, +6 Intelligence, +4 Wisdom, +6 Charisma, with an LA of +4. So I'm thinking to start with 20 Str/18 Con/20 Dex/6Int/10 Wis/6 Cha
That'd give me (post-racial adjustment) 16 Str, 18 Con, 28 Dex, 12 Int, 14 Wis, 12 Cha, and at 5th level I could become a level 1 Barbarian.
I want to wield a short sword so Id need to take a feat that allows me to use a bigger weapon than I am.
I'd eventually pick up Combat Reflexes and Weapon Finesse (for massive +hit bonus), then Power Attack, etc.
I figure with the high dex, Dodge, being small or tiny, AND having Natural Improved Invisibility, I should be pretty damn hard to hit, and around level 10 (4 pixie/6 barb), I should also have a good pool of hitpoints as well, even more when raged.
Low Str will be offset by the PA/Greater PA line (if thats still around), and Rage.
I may take 1st level as a Rogue for the extra d6 of sneak attack, and play it as I'm a berserker in combat, but mechanics (such as traps and locks) fascinate me, to a fault that I'm pretty (50%) likely to go fiddle with them instead of fighting.
Thoughts, tips, advice, aside from "Dont do it"?
