So...This is quite possibly the craziest and potentially most fun character concept that I've ever come up with: an oracle1/BarbarianX/Rage ProphetX dwarf with split personalities. One personality will be a very polite upper class dwarf with a posh English accent, and the other personality (which will come out when he rages) will be a barely coherent psychopath.

Now, I know that the Rage Prophet PrC isn't very great mechanically, but I'm going for it mostly as a way to get into and out of rage without getting fatigued. And yes, that does mean that my oracle is going with the Lame curse.

Now, I'm not asking for anyone to do an entire build for me. I'd just like some suggestions and maybe a little double checking if that's okay.

Now, here's what I'm a little unsure about:
-Stats: Obviously Con and Str are going to be important, but how much should I put into Cha, if any thing? 15 point buy, by the way.

-Weapon selection: Since I'll be taking a hit to my movement speed, I thought that a reach weapon might be called for, but I'm not sure which one.

-Any feats or archetypes that you guys think would help with the concept?

Thanks in advance.

*cough* Berserker (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/07/08/episode-439-everything-is-fighters-fault/) Axinhead (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/07/10/episode-440-berserkers-want-what-we-all-want-civilization/) *cough*

Well, the thing about Rage Prophet...*blah blah, sucks, blah blah*...

But since you're doing it more for Flavor reasons, then that's OK.

Since you're only planning on 1 level of Oracle you simply MUST take Lore Mystery > Sidestep Secret (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/oracle/mysteries/paizo---oracle-mysteries/lore) (alternately, the Nature Mystery > Nature's Whispers (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/oracle/mysteries/paizo---oracle-mysteries/nature) Revelation gives CHA to AC and CMD).
Also, take the feat Noble Scion (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/noble-scion) > War option for CHA to Initiative. This is both flavorful, AND allows your to DUMP DEX! This will greatly help with your Point Buy, as you now only need STR/CON/CHA

Assuming final build will be Oracle 1/Barbarian 9/Rage Prophet 10, you'll only have 4th level spells. Also, you don't have to be Intelligent to be British Upper Crust (though WIS can help).
Sample 15 Point Buy + Dwarf Stats
Str 15 (levels ups go here)
Dex 7
Con 16 (14+2)
Int 7
Wis 13 (11+2)
Cha 14 (16-2)
Adjust to taste.

As for Speed, that might not be a problem, depending on which Barb archetype you take, as the +10ft. of Barb movement will counteract the Lame reduction. So you'll still move at 20ft. (or 25ft. if you can get your DM to have the penalty apply first...).

Thanks a bunch. I had hoped that not many people on these forums had read 8-bit Theater...Oh well.
