Thoughts, Opinions, or Suggestions for my Barbarian Build

[lynxd80]

Hey everyone!

I recently posted about needing help with constructing an unchained barbarian for a campaign my buddy's running. I've spent the better portion of a week trying to create a decent build, but have ultimately been unsuccessful. However, the big reason why I was running with Unchained was because my bud read somewhere that Enhancment items do not stack with rage powers because of the "Like-Enhancments" Rule. I decided to research this and (most happily) discovered that this was not the case... As I discovered (and I'm sure you all know) "Rage" provides a Morale bonus... And not an enhancment like a Belt of Giant's strength would. Therefore, the reason for not playing a regular Barbarian became voided and, upon requesting: i was approved to swap from Unchained to a "Invulnerable Rager" Archetype.

That said," I'd like to present my new plans for the character and see if the build I'm constructing is solid or if there is something better I can do with it. I'm not new to pathfinder, but this is my first Barbarian. I've taken suggestions from the previous discussion, coupled it with new research, and put together this:

Note: I'm not trying to be the most broken character, but I would like to be able to have fun with the character. That being said, any thoughts, opinions, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

I don't know your rage powers by heart. Do any require Charisma? If not, the inherent optimizer in me says to switch your Charisma and Wisdom scores. Even though you get a bonus to Will saves while raging, it never hurts to have another +1 due to having 12 Wisdom. Charisma based skills are nice, and by all means invest ranks in them if that's what you want, but I think +1 Will save is more valuable than +1 to a Charisma skill check. Totally admitted personal bias. :smallbiggrin:

Think about changing to Half-Orc/Orc instead of human so you can have access to Ferocious Action (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/ferocious-action-orc)

Looks solid. I second swapping charisma and wisdom, maybe even making charisma an 8. Having the extra skill point will boost intimidate more in the long run, and will saves are just too bad to fail.
