I recently bought Unearthed Arcana, due to the fact that the players in my game were exploiting rules I didnt know, much less heard of. And when I opened it, I was amazed to find something that I had always dreamed of: A way to make a barbarian/monk (sort of).
Using the gestalt variant, and also the variant druid (not the Druidic Avenger, the other one that got monk and ranger abilities), I made my barbarian/druid(with monk abilties). Now that I have made the most UBER powerful melee character in existence (with all sorts of OTHER fun abilities due to the retained druid abilities), I need a race. I was thinking minotaur with a half-dragon template, but that one proved to be to powerful even without class levels ( +16 to Str, +6 to Con, and only a -2 Int), so I need some help deciding exactly what race is worthy of my glorius combat machine.

to limit LA so you can get the most out of it go simple go goliath, +1 LA
+4 STR +2con -2 dex and all the bonuses of being large withought the minuses along with a few other abilites. The ammount of dmg a standard Goliath BArbarian can dish out is impressive ths would be powerfull for the loss of one class level

The Mountain rage ability and their improved damage reduction ability would also prove uber (honestly how many times have you faced any enemy packing an adamantine weapon?)
