Hi, I'm attempting to make a barbarian charger build. Here's what I've got so far. Build is Level 10, and feat progression has been increased to every 2 levels by house rule.


Human Barbarian 2/Fighter 2/Warblade 6

Feats:

Human 1: Power Attack
Feat 1: Improved Bullrush
Feat 2: Extra Rage
Feat 4: Improved Sunder
Feat 6: Leap Attack
Feat 8: Shock Trooper
Feat 10: Stormguard Warrior
Fighter 1: Combat Brute
Warblade 5: Ironheart Aura

Alternate Class Features:
Lion Totem Barbarian (trade fast movement for pounce)
UA Wolf Totem (trade uncanny dodge for Improved Trip)
Dungeon Crasher (bull-rush against wall for 4d6 + STRx2)

Possible Manuevers:
Charging Minotaur (synergy with Dungeon Crasher)


Any suggestions on improving the build? One of the things I'm not sure about is the Improved Sunder/Combat Brute feats (couldn't think of what else to put there). I could spend the fighter feat on Combat Reflexes in order to get in line for Robilar's Gambit at 12th level, or I could take Adaptive Style (though that doesn't seem to be as important for a Warblade as it is for a Swordsage). Jotunbrud is another possibility to help bull-rushing checks, though I'm not sure how helpful it would be (if it allows the use of large feats like Knockback, it could be).


Also, is spending 6 levels on Fighter to get the advanced Dungeon Crasher progression worth it for this build? Is Dungeon Crasher worth it without the Knockback feat and/or large size?

If you're not stuck on human you could play a Warforged, my brother played a crazy Dungeon Crasher Build as a Warforged I'll see if we can find it.  I honestly think the Dungeon Crasher variant is worth it.

It is, especially since this build has extra feats. I was surprised to see only 2 levels of fighter currently, Dungeon Crasher is just that good.

See Hood for inspiration.
