Ideas for a barbarian/paladin

[Tatsukun]

If you're a grappling powerhouse, where's your Improved Grapple?
You might also consider feats that improve your AC against Attacks of Opportunity, though I can't remember wwhich ones those are... oh, and you must take Agile Riposte as well... nothing like getting a free swing for a missed attack, especially if that free swing is a Grapple attempt!

I know that as a Barbarian you tend to get less 'fun' Fighter feats than a Fighter would, but what do you do...

Bear totem gives you Improved Grapple for free.

The only feat I can think of that bumps AC right now is Dodge, but then he'd need a Dex of 13 and +1 AC against one person isn't really worth a feat. Mobility gives you a bonus to AC if you incur an AoO by moving, and you could claim that the AoO from grappling is incurred because you move into the square so it applies, but it's moot since he will have Improved Grapple from Bear Totem.

Nah, you're not wrong Tatsukun. It's just that I doubt that I'm going to be able to contend in a toe-to-toe fight as well as the other party tank...I suspect I'm going to have to rely on some paladin and/or cleric gimmicks to get me going.
