[QUOTE="Colder, post: 6870898, member: 6807965"] How optimized are we talking? Because from a DPR perspective, I think that ClockworkNinja's got the right idea. But if you don't want such a specialized build, I think that TWF is the way to go. Grab a level or three in Fighter or Ranger for the TWF fighting style, spend your ASI on the Dual-Wielder feat. You won't have quite as much AC or do as much damage as Clockwork Ninja's PAM Shield & Staff build, but you'll have a lot more versatility in your available tactics. Are you in close? Draw two battleaxes for a maximum-damage approach. Is an enemy [I]just[/I] out of your reach (which they might often be because you're slower than your average barbarian)? You don't need to dash, just chuck a couple of javelins at them to keep your rage going. Since Halflings don't get Darkvision naturally, I think the Deep Stalker Ranger is the best option for multiclassing in that case. If you go Gnome or don't think that will be an issue, though, I think that Battle Master would give you great amounts of utility to use, since most maneuvers can be used on both melee and ranged attacks, which makes your thrown weapons deadly.
