[PF] Brawlin' Barbarians! (Build Help/Suggestions)

[ArcGygas]

Was working on a back-up character for my Druid in a Kingmaker campaign, since... well, I probably PO'd the rest of the party with some actions and that's not relevant (it's IC not OOC, so don't worry about that).

So, my idea was an unarmed specialized Barbarian! I was thinking a couple level dips in Martial Artist (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateCombat/classArchetypes/monk.html#martial-artist-(archetype)) to get IUS, Stunning Fist, and maybe something from the Monk's bonus feats. Was originally hoping to toss in Master of Many Styles, too, but they both replace Perfect Self, so no dice.

Starting at 7th level, was thinking Barbarian 1/Martial Artist 5/Barbarian 1. Feats would be;

1-Power Attack
HB-Combat Expertise
2MB-Combat Reflexes
3MB-Catch-Off Guard
3-Dragon Style
5-Dragon Ferocity
7-Improved Trip

Rage Power was thinking Superstitious or Beast Totem (Lesser). Would grab both eventually, and take the Beast Totem Tree as well as Witch Hunter and the like.

At 9th level, was contemplating grabbing Vicious Stomp (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateCombat/ultimateCombatFeats.html#vicious-stomp) for tripping shenanigans as well as crowd control. Would Vicious Stomp and Greater Trip then provoke two AoO?

So, ideas? Suggestions?

If you're willing to hold off on the Barbarian levels a bit, MA gets immunity to fatigue at level 5 (infinite rage cycling!). Also, the 4th-level MA ability is really handy (if possibly be a bit out of reach for a wisdom-starved barbarian).

Actually, if you look at the build in the latter half of my post, I do grab 5 levels! :smallbiggrin:

But, reading the Monk's Unarmed Strike class feature, I have no "off-hand" for unarmed strikes. So, if I take the two-weapon fighting tree, does that mean I could make secondary attacks and get 1.5xStr on all my attacks from Dragon Ferocity?

Also, to clarify, with Dragon Ferocity, my first attack in a round does 2xStr, correct?
