Alternatively you your DM said MM is Ok, so why not Orc?<- LA 0. (get a big hat, or sunshades if you are in bright light. otherwise partly cloudy is Aok.    if I want to make a character that will take a beating, but more importantly deal it, then I could go “Spiked Vengeance” as I call it.   Abilities   17   13   15   11   10   10   if you go with Goliath switch dex/con I think they have a penalty to dex. +4str –2 dex +2con.  If you need the specifics I can email them to you (I have the book at home).  Also don’t forget to allocate your ability improvements from 4th and 8th levels.   Exotic Weapon(Spiked chain)   Weapon FocusCombat ReflexesPower Attack   Cleave   Great Cleave   Karmic Strike isn’t bad   You can also do   Dodge   Mobility    Spring Attack(they provoke AoO’s when they close   These mostly take levels of fighter, but 1-2 levels of Barbarian help a lot.  if you do you can also take Reckless rage (+2str –2 def when raging)       [font=&quot]If this is too much thinking you could always do orc cleric of kord 9 all into righteous might, divine favor, divine power, shield of faith.   Keep in mind those don’t all stack so pick one buff for the combat and then get in the fight.  Kord’s favored weapon is a greatsword.[/font]</blockquote>
