At 8th level you'll have rage 3/day. Will you really need it more often than that? Even as the big bruiser, you'll be surprised at how many combats you may take superficial or even no damage. Control your rage, don't let it control you.Are the stats before or after your 4th and 8th level bonuses?19str, 18dex, 13con, 11int/wis/cha is optimal.Recommended FeatsHuman1: Power AttackLevel1: CleaveLevel3: Improved SunderLevel6: Combat Brute (Complete Warrior)Power Attack and Cleave are just obvious choices. Improved Sunder both for reasons stated above and as a pre-requisite for Combat Brute.Combat Brute allows you to make 3 combat maneuvers:Advancing Blows: Successfully Bull Rush a Foe. Get +1/5ft moved on your attacks next round.Sundering Cleave: Sunder a foe's weapon, get a cleave attack against the foeMomentum Swing: Charge a foe in the first round, second round Power Attack for 5 or more and triple (instead of double) your power attack.Advancing Blows isn't great, but the other two options are GOLD.Equipment:Adamantine Great Sword/Great Axe +1Mithral Breastplate +1Gloves of Ogre Power +2Belt of Constitution +2Ring of Protection +1 Cloak of Resistance +2Don't worry too much about overcoming DR. You'll do that better by Power Attacking with a 2hder than by using Cold Iron/Silver weapons. Might want a dagger for when you're grappled, but really, you should be difficult to grapple. Thrown weapons are great for range, and Quiver of Ehlonna is great for holding them. Probably better to have Fly available though. Getting Barkskin, Bulls Strength, Cats Grace, and Enlarge Person either cast or in potions can be a big plus. If Owl's Wisdom is available, take it to shore up your will save too.</blockquote>
