Official non-raging barbarian variants?

Nyambe has the gamba fighter, who is sort of halfway between fighter and barbarian (no rage). I think you'd be much better off going straight psion and picking up an armor feat if needed rather than including some fighter-type class. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with playing a standard barbarian and not raging. I played a barbarian who was the best fighter in the party and he never raged. Not that I planned never to rage, it just never came up.

I want to hear more about the "half-ooze" homebrew.
Details, please?

Wow. I've never seen such a wide range in stat modifiers. -8 to Dex, and +8 to Con!? I take it you don't want to take this template if your rolled Dex is 8 or less, huh?
The feeding rule seems underspecified. What happens if you don't eat your body weight in organic material every day?
Are half-oozes aberrations?

Oh, duh, rather, it'd probably be the normal starvation rules (just with a rather higher food requirement).

Of course, his personal survival roll ought to be rediculously easy in areas with lots of vegitation - it's just organic matter, no listed need for a particular type.
If survival rolls aren't desireable (due to the low-speed travel, perhaps, or a desert environment), then pick up lots of feed. At 5 cp/10 lbs, a 150 lb ooze costs 75 cp, or 7.5 sp, or .75 gp per day to feed.
Firewood might also suffice, at 1 cp per 20 lbs, for 8 cp to feed a 150 lb half-ooze each day.
Compare to trail rations at 5 sp/day/person.
Weight could very easily be an issue, however, so you will want to pick up a heavy horse (200 gp each) or two and a cart (15 gp) or wagon (35 gp) and some ranks in Handle Animal to deal with the weight. Portable Holes (20,000 gp) are also a good idea, if a tad pricy (no listed weight limit, but a volume limit).
Of course, while actively adventuring, you can devour fallen opponents. Hmm... can you devour live opponents that way? Scary attack, that.
