#1 badgerx3 Dec 05, 2008 21:48:39	First post on the boards, but I've lurked around here for quite some time. Regardless, I need help on a build. level 3 Half-Ogre Barbarian(since the LA was just +1 my DM dismissed it) Str:24 Dex:16 Con:20 Int:12 Wis:13 Cha:13 Gold:400 Armor:Chain shirt Weapon:Minotaur greathammer(or something like that) Feats:only power attack so far I need help with a build and selection of feats. I want too deal great damage, but I don't wanna multi-class too much. Dipping into 3 classes would be alright, but please no more than that, we have a house rule that we have to quest for any multi-classing or PrCs that aren't in our group. Books allowed: Any Books owned:Core, complete races, complete warrior & mage, draconomicon, libris mortis, SS, UA, Complete arcane & adventurer, and several other books that I can't name off the top of my head. Just list what you need too from a book and I'll do my best too find it. Thanks for any help!

Classwise, it might be wise to go Frenzied Berzerker if you can get that Will Save under control through party help and possibly Endurance -> Steadfast Determination (PHBII). Fighter 2 for extra feats can be useful, as can Hexblade 3 after getting Deathless Frenzy for Mettle to prevent Disintegration. Here's something I worked out on those lines a week and a half ago for a friend jumping into a pretty hardcore campaign: Thor [28 Point buy ECL 19] Barb 2/Hexblade 3/Fighter 2/Frenzied Berzerker 10 Half Ogre (16)STR=(48)34=18+4Lev+6Rac+6Enh (00)DEX=12=8-2Rac+6Enh (10)CON=(28)24=16+2Rac+6Enh (02)INT=8=10-2Rac (00)WIS=8 (00)CHA=6=8-2Rac Trait)Quick (UA) Feats) Poor Ref-F)Extra Rage Shaky-F)Endurance 1)Destructive Rage 3)Intimidating Rage 6f)Power Attack 6)Improved Bull Rush 7f)Cleave 9)Shock Trooper 12)Leap Attack 15)Steadfast Determination You may want to switch around the order or even composition of feats and classes (he was jumping right in at ECL 19), but it seems similar to what you're going for. One main point is that he uses the Lion Totem Barb from Complete Champion to get Pounce (full attack at the end of a charge) instead of fast movement. If we can set him up for a charge right and he charges a target whose AC he can hit (people with 50+ AC are rar-ish but not unheard of for us) he can deal a thousand damage or so.
