Bladeforged Barbarian?

Before I actually try this and end up screwing myself over, I want to know if anyone else has ever done it.
Basically, you start with that first level of Paladin on the Bladeforged Iconic, take 14 levels of "something else" that doesn't have an alignment restruction, +1 heart out of the 1 paladin level, then alignment-change and +20-heart into a Barbarian or whatever other life you please that can't splash paladin.
Anyone tried this, or do I need to be the first?
I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

That will work.
Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

That's a big damned cost for something that isn't really that great.
Can't cast recon while raged.

Frankly I'm not sure rage is all that great.
But you're right, its maybe not worth it on a Barbarian.
Might be on a Bard though. I dunno. Still, the question isn't "is it work it?" its "Can you do it?"

Uhh...
Barbarian may not be the class for you, then.
Most of the best stuff in Barb is only when you're raging.

It's not that it won't work, anything can kinda work, but you're losing a ton of Str, melee power, and crit range or multiplier if you're not raging, and the barb auto-heal enhancement won't be hitting you for as much as it would on a fleshy. So you'd be paying the cost of a heart and an alignment swap to be... a crappy barb. No real synergy at all. You're losing more than you'd gain from bladesworn & power of the forge.

Yes, it's been done.
No, it isn't worth it.

No, it's Healing Amp, not Repair.

Hey, i'm pretty sure we've all agreed for a while that not every build idea I have is a winner
I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

...You don't have to level to 20 to use the +20 heart.

Robot barb is still a bad, but it's your life and hearts to waste.
