Well, Beast allows me to Pounce which doesn't seem that useful. If I pounce, I make a full attack but don't I still do that while charging? I looked around some threads and pretty much everyone recommended Beast. I guess I would go for it if I didn't have my Flail of Destruction and 20 STR.

If I take Dragon, I can fly during the duration of the rage. Fly becomes a class skill for me. Imagine the badassery I could execute. I must not forget to land down before my rage ends or that badaserry could turn into negative hit points because of the fall.

Go here, press CTRL+F, type "totem", click Highlight All, and see why I'm having trouble with deciding.

take dragon. Flying increases tactical possibilities by a hundred.

also, what's more badass than a barbarian with 20str ? a FLYING barbarian with 20str.

Taking a 5 foot step is a swift action that incurs no attack of opportunity.  5-step back, heal, and move back into position.  May also be a good chance to Channel Positive Energy or whatnot, I forget what all clerics can do.

good to know.

You do not normally get a full attack while charging.  You make a single attack.

If you have multiple attacks, Pounce is boss, you'll notice I got it on my Eidolon before I even had Reach on all his weapons.  He gets three attacks on a charge.

Once you hit level 5-ish, you'll get enough BAB to do multiple attacks, so pounce would let you use your flail twice, at BAB +6 for the first strike, and +1 for the second strike.

On the other hand, flying is pretty boss.  In our current palisade assault, you could have taken to the walls and shredded the archers.

Also, it's important to note that that 5-foot step is the only movement you can make in a round.  You can't step back, take a standard action, then move back into combat.

Unless you got that feat that allows it.

No, 5-foot counts as a move, it seems.  So you can take a 5-foot and a standard (heal self), but you cannot take a 5-foot and a move at all.

You can also Withdraw, which lets you move 2x distance and count your starting square as not-threatened.

Well I was refering to a feat combination that lets you move, without AoO, attack, and move.

My favorite enemy in Pathfinder uses it quite well (You do NOT want to fight it out in the open... or spellcaster classes of that race)... The Quickling

Oddly enough inspite being a "Rogue-type" the Quicklings make particularly good spellcasters.

I think I'll go with Dragon. The tactical advantage that comes from flying may come really handy.

But Beast will come useful in later levels and flying can be acquired by other means in later levels too. I dunno, I'll decide when I level up.

Every 2 steps diagonal counts as +5 foot.  So moving diagonal, you can move 1 diagonal for 5 foot, and 2 diagonal for 15 foot.

I think i'm gonna take power attack, extra channel, improved overrun and possibly combat casting as feats. The rest... i don't know. maybe create magic arms and armor.
