for a starting campain, I have the following :
I want a berserker, but there are some flavor/RP restriction, all books allowed.

kagonesti (wild elf) "lover of nature" non-good will use more than half his skill points on RP stuff
he was educated in town , but wants its freedom back (hence the 1st level)

The buildpre-req feat are asterisk'd*)
1: Barbarian 1 "City Brawler" variant from DR349 (only non-official accepted)
-} gives improved unarmed strike* and 2 weapon fighting, only unarmed strike.
-} looses shield, medium armor, martial weapons
feat level 1 : Great Fortitude*
2 flaws taken -} extra rage; __________ ?
2: fighter 1 power attack*
3: Crusader (defender of Nature, no specific deity), stance martial ... (+2HP healed per successfull attack)
5 manoeuvers (TBD)
Feat 3: Frozen rage (while raging gains cold subtype)*
4: class with FULL BAB as Fist of forest requires BAB +4. any suggestion ? __________ 1
5: Fist of Forest 1 (fast move, trance cumulative with rage, increased unarmed damage 1d8, Con bonus to armor, no armor allowed, seconday bite attack -5, 1d6+full Str bonus)
6: FoF 2 uncanny dodge, natural strikes becomes magic (or lesser ghost if already magic)
feat 6: improved 2WF
7: Frozen Berserker 1 (when raging, increase nat AC +4, natural damage increase as if large creature), immune to bleeding
8: FoF 3 : unarmed damage 1d10, scent, trance 2/day
9: Bear Warrior 1 : while raging, changes into black bear, additional +4 Str, +2 Dex
Feat 9: _________ ?
10: War shaper 1 : while in alt form, immune to stunning and critical, increase claw damage

Feat 12: Greater 2WF

not sure after to go to war shaper 4 ( no more bab loss, 2: +4 Str/Con, 3: gains 5ft reach, 4: fast heal 2 - always when in alt shape/raging)
also Frozen 5 (2: one more attack, all at -2, 3: cold heals half damage, 4: increase in AC and unarmed damage, 5: rend : if 2 attacks ok +1d6+1.5xStr)

will not advance bear warrior further. I thought about wildrunner (for primal scream, but it requires endurance and some skills)
also WR grants bite+scent (with +6 bonus to STR ? Dex ?, I don't remember) which is quite a duplicate of FoF.

So what class for level 4, which 2 feats, any suggestion

thanks a lot for your time.

Go Crusader. Martial Initiators kick butt, so go with Crusader 2.

Otherwise, if you want another dip you should consider 'good-old' ranger, giving you full BAB, two good saves (Reflex!), Favored Enemy, Track, 6+int skill points on a quite good list... And he's a nature boy ;)
