Now that I think about it, I think I'd like to multiclass as a barbarian/bard/war chanter (Complete Warrior) - singing Norse songs of the halls of Odin and Valhalla. Perhaps I'll even look up some authentic viking songs or poetry or something.
The level breakdown will most likely be barbarian 6/bard 1/war chanter 1.
Also, I was wondering if I could use a weapon out of the EverQuest PHB - a two-handed hammer. Unfortunately, there's no two-handed blunt weapon equivalent in the 3.5 PHB except for the greatclub which isn't really the image I'm going for. Also, it's my understanding that if a medium sized character wields a large warhammer with two hands, that character suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls. If this is not the case, a large warhammer would be fine.
Here's the stats for it:
Two-handed hammer; 20gp; 2d6 dmg; x2 crit; 15 lbs; bludgeoning
