So a new game is coming up and I'm feeling a little cheesy, and the DM allows some 3.5 material, and seeing as how I have the Eberron book and how Barbarian raging works in Pathfinder, I thought that enabling rage cycling using a Warforged at level 1 would be neat.

I've done Googling around, but every guide is based around getting rage-cycling at around level 10 and our games usually don't last that long, and the first couple levels are usually built around trying to qualify for that feature in one of many ways. Seeing as how I have immunity to fatigue I was wondering if anyone had any fun suggestions for a Warforged Barbarian.

Assume 3.5 Warforged, but if you find something more fun with this version (http://pf-eberron.wikidot.com/races:warforged), then go right ahead.


Right now I'm looking at a DR build made with tips from this thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=230081). I can't decide if Invulnerable Rager would be better or Armored Hulk for more mobility with heavy armor. Regardless it looks like:
Fighter 1 (Unbreakable) - Adamantine Body
Barbarian 1
Barbarian 2 - Bolstered Resilience
Barbarian 3
Barbarian 4 - Stalwart
...
Barbarian 10 - Improved Stalwart

However, I don't seem to be too good at picking out rage powers and there's no offensive capability at all, which is where I need help.

Also to make sure I'm clear, if I take less damage than I have temporary health from raging, rage cycling will make it so I get that all back, correct?

Would something like this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=252600) interest you?

I know I got interested.

Very nice, I'll have to add that in.

Btw, for your questions at hand, it's widely accepted that Invulnerable Rager is a superior archetype to Armored Hulk, as the benefit from heavy armor is rather small (compared to half evel DR).

That said, if you want to deal big damage, Titan Mauler with the aforementioned trick works nicely, only depending on how easy it is to grab larger sized magic weapons (or have them forged).

Between having full BAB, the Titan Mauler's bonus and the PF rules for wielding larger weaponry, you can wield some really big sticks.
