[QUOTE="famousringo, post: 6870794, member: 6792445"] Can't use heavy weapons, so IMO dual wield is the way to go. Gives you something to do with your bonus action, an extra attack to enjoy your rage bonus with. Take the feat for an AC bonus and so you can smash people with battleaxes in proper barbarian fashion, and the fighting style for offhand damage boost. As for race, Gnome Cunning is nice in that it plugs just about the only hole in a bearbarian's defense, but IMO the plus .5 to every roll a character makes from Lucky is better than +5 to the rare magic save. Halfling does also offer advantage on fear saves and better stat bonuses for a barbarian. Halfling's biggest weakness gets plugged by Deep Stalker's darkvision, but otherwise I don't see much point to the class. The hit-and-run fighting style doesn't mesh well with the in-your-face barbarian beyond the opening round. Unless you really feel you need dark vision, better to be a hunter. Rogue is another option if you just want some utility. If you're planning to keep advancing as barbarian, I like 3 levels in Champion to really exploit those Brutal Criticals and because Action Surge is always awesome. [/QUOTE]
