I love the Dwarven racial Foehammer as a class, and it gets really fun at level 7 with the right build, to me anyways. I was thinking of making one for PFS as my first character as it's a pretty "safe" character, fairly forgiving for learning a new style of play.
I'm reasonably lost after level 7 what to do though.
level 7 foehammer gives a free trip attempt with any successful bull rush. I was planning on going the Shield bash and bull rush feats, and by level 7 can have both greater bull rush and shield slam so any shield bash gives a free bull rush. This bull rush would cause AOO for other people, and this free bull rush would then give a free trip attempt as well. I'd be at +9 to bull rush (dwarven, class and feat bonuses) before str by this level so should be fairly successful.
TWF with the shield would give me both bludgeoning and piercing damage (assuming shield spikes) and 3 hits/turn isn't terrible.
stats would start str 17 dex 15 con 12 int 10 wis 10 cha 8 (after racials) I think (did this at work, left paper there, working off memory).
Really not sure where to go after this though. stonelord is half appealing as a defensive ability.
Anyone have better thoughts on where to go to really make this pop? Barbarian is also possible just for the rage buff.

Bull rush question: assuming I take the rage power knockback, if I for instance use the first attack in a full attack to bull rush the person back, can I still step up and continue the full attack? Or does the stepping up part cancel the rest of the full attack? to me this is a "free" move, but wanted to be sure.
