This is something that has gone from benign thought experiment with a friend to something I really want to try and make work.
The idea is simple- I love the Invulnerable Rager archetype for the Barbarian from Pathfinder. I want to find a way to build this character so that the amount of DR is maximized as is the damage output. I want him to hit as hard as he possibly can and stand up to a beating. There are people here who have much more experience at optimizing than me.
The rules: It's mainly Pathfinder, but we can bring in anything from 3.5 as well.
This is currently for a 6th lvl character.
Here are the stat numbers I've rolled. They're currently unassigned so you can put them where they do the most good (got some lucky rolls!):
18
17
15
14
13
12
+1 attribute needs to be assigned from 4th lvl gain. Any race can be used
Class Features:
I definately want to take Pounce as an ACF for 1st level.
Invulnerability kicks in at 2nd level- DR is 1/2 lvl universal
Extreme Endurance, 3rd level- I'm thinking Hot for the choice
Rage Powers:
I have 3 to choose. I hate that increased DR requires you to be lvl 8 before you can pick it.
Feats:
I know there's a feat that lets you double your DR against a single attack, but I can't remembe what it's called.
For increased damage dealing, I was thinking that going with powers that increase the damage on a charge might be the way to go. It means an initial burst of high damage, which is good, and then I'd have the staying power from the increased DR to plunk away for less damage while the rest of my team works.
