So, for a new character I'm planning a Spiked Chain wielding Battle Controller Goliath Barbarian.
I didn't even get the stats yet (we roll the dices), but, so far
It will start at level 6 (5 for Level Adjustment). My idea for building
Race: Goliath (RoS). +4 STR, -2 DEX, +2 CON. Low Light Vision, Powerfull Build
Level 1. Goliath Barbarian Substitution Level 1: Mountain Rage (RoS) let me grow one size category & +2 STR while in rage. Doesn't get fast movement (important note) or illiteracy (by RAW)
Level 2: Barbarian 2 - Wolf Totem ACF (UA) gives me Improved Trip as bonus feat. Doesn't get uncanny dodge.
=Question 1 Here=
Level 4: Fighter 1. +1 Feat
Level 5: Fighter 2. +1 Feat
Level 6: Fist of the Forest? (CC)
So, now to the
Questions
1. Should I buy the level adjustment at ECL3? If so, would I get the 3rd level feat?
2. About PRC, War Hulk seeems a little too much for optimization. Maybe Fist of the Forest? That would lead to some crazy rage effects. Requires 3 feats, one is power attack.
3. Is a Spiked Chain a good weapon for this build? or should I get something else?
4. What magic item do you recommend?
Extra Notes:
The party have plenty of spellcasters (Archivist, Druid & Wizard), need a meat shield
Thank you in Advance!
