[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7276152, member: 20564"] You've done other campaigns with this group - how many encounters per day does the DM normally run? With the DMG recommended 6-8 encounters a day, 3 rages per day for Bear Totem tankiness would only cover half or less, but if your DM does less encounters per day then it gets progressively better. Half orc's Savage Attacks gives more with two-handed weapons since it's adding an extra die. Three attacks with d12+mods and d12 bonus on your crits will do more damage then four attacks d8+mods and d8 bonus on crits unless your mods are really high. It would also allow you to go for GWM which pairs nicely with Reckless attack, doesn't reduce the number of crits at all, and turns a crit into a bonus action attack like TWF - but with a bigger damage die. Let's see, reckless attack for advantage plus champion 19-20 is about 19% chance to crit per attack. With three attacks that's about 47% chance of at least one crit - so about half the time you're still getting a bonus action attack like TWF, but all of your attacks are made with bigger dice and when you crit your racial makes that even better. Though TWF takes off sooner - I did cherry pick for your Extra Attack (2) and beyond levels. [/QUOTE]
