body feat advice

[Slapphappy]

I am thinking of a Warforged Barbarian wielding a two-handed weapon. Should I take a body feat and if so, which one?


possible strarting stats (32-point)

str - 18
Int - 8
wis - 6
Con - 18
Dex - 14
cha - 6

One option is to take a body feat, and swap it out later. You could take Mithral at creation, and speak to Lockania in the harbor to get a free feat exchange token which will let you drop Mithral plating for something else. This let's you get some AC for the lower levels, and discard the Body Feat later if you find AC not worth the effort. Maybe a WF Barb expert could tell you when the plating drop would likely occur.

Depends on how many points you want to toss at your Dexterity. If your starting Dex is going to be higher than a 12, you'd want to go with Mithral Body. Otherwise go with Adamantine. Its definitely worth it at lower levels.
