I have played a few sessions of 4e and 5e of D&D, but that's been it. I will be joining a level 13 Pathfinder campign in a few weeks and the DM wanted me to start out at 13th level with a fighter type: such as Barbarian, Archer, Fighter, Paladin and so on.    I was looking into the Barbarian archtypes and loved the idea of Fury Mount. Basically, in short, it's the Pathfinder version of Ghengis Khan and his Mongol horde. I have always been fascinated by the Mongols fought their battles, on lighting fast horses with powerful recurve bows and arrows. I'd love to build a Barbarian that does much the same, except with some modifacations,    What would be some good powers, rages, and all the like that I could toss in to build this, and what would be some other stuff I could use that would make me useful outside of combat too? Is there also a list of mounts that someone can link me to? I loved to have him or her ride in on a bull or tiger or battle steed. Maybe even a dragon. LOL.    Thanks in advance guys.    PS - What should I out as his/her strongest to lowest stats?

If I were to make this character in 5e, it would be a half-orc or variant human with shield master and mounted combat as feats. starting 16 str, 14 dex, 14 con, 8 int, 10 wis, 10 cha with shield master at first level when you can't afford a mount or barding anyway. level 4 mounted, level 8 dex, level 12 dex, level 16 dex, level 19 con   final at 20 = 20 str, 20 dex, 20 con, 8 int, 10 wis, 10 cha   skills: handle animal, athletics (soldier background) intimidate, history (i think) race option for V.Human should be perception or acrobatics. Sucks that handle animal is wis as default, though riding in combat could easily be a dex or athletics check maybe   Make alot of longbow attacks from horseback as you level. ride in and strike with shield and battle axe or scimitar and just use strength advantage to push since it wont help scimitar. totem wolf might be the best for this. build. eagle would give really good scouting with second totem.
