Ok so this is the best I have come up with following the stipulations of .... It has to be a human and not having a bunch of negative stats... I'm not sure if greater resiliency was ever successfully changed to being 3 DR or not ... I'm also wondering about switching luck of heroes for powerful charge for some added burst dmg in the beginning of a fight but I dunno....

Anyhow here it is! Lemme know if you guys think of anything better

Unfortunately greater resiliency could not be changed no.

ah well with that being the case.... have we put any thoughts into just increasing barbarian DR by a few points via giving it slightly accelerated growth?

If not well... Are we thinking northlander hewing or extra rage is the better option....

Alright, couple of things :

No extend rage feats, that's a big deal.

Not enough damage, get PA and/or One Hander

Epic armor optimization does not exist on BG, besides it's not really necessary here. Better to end up on even STR, that way you can use a +2 item and still enjoy the maximum +12 while raging (+12 is the hard cap).

On the other hand it has high AC, high DR, high saves and high HP so it will survive no problem.

I would drop GHO, knockdown and improved crit to get extend rage feats. Also I would delay the last 3 divine champion levels to get evasion quicker.

Drop GHO I dunno I already felt short on AC due to not cresting 60... thank you though for the knowledge about Epic heavy armor opt. I planned on using a longsword and tower shield when I need AC and then switching to a greatsword for big dmg if thats what you meant by a one hander?

I also think I'll be getting extra rage at level 17 instead of greater resiliency since that couldn't be fixed since extra rage = 34 more rounds of rage with a 3 con item vs extend rage with 6 rages being 30 more rounds of rage (( 6 rage uses x 5 rounds = 30 ))

If I get northlander hewing is PA really necessary?

dont do northlander hewing the feat is pretty useless and regret taking it, its okay when you have only 1 attack lol/

That feat should just be removed or changed or increaded to 3 or 4 attacks per round.

if you want KD get it earlier so its more useful. then follow it with IKD.

Can't take IKD as I don't have enough stat points to invest into IKD to meet the pre-reqs and I'd have 4 attacks while using Whirlwind frenzy with northlander hewing

if you have decent con, the extend feats are not required,

there is an item with extra rage/extend rage 1 for sale-

barbarian are burst fighters, and it sucks until they get tireless rage.

I would recommend 20 barb/5 frenized as a base, but if want more classes leveling is going to be rough, I didn't get epic rage til 30, and Expose weakness at 28

Thank you for the try 7threalm but I'm not willing to have that many negative stats hence why I have int and cha at 10.

able learning makes up for it, your dumb but you try hard lol

but as far as power/build that one would be solid

-1 wisdom = -1 save, so your alright
charisma=what does a barbarian need that for

but if its for rp then good luck

i player battle 20 barb/5 frenzed/5 rager

and kill most of the bosses solo

I do like to power build but I also need to play my stats and being both ugly and an utter (hero) as you'd have to be with an 8 charisma wasn't my bag. Nor was being unable to speak common properly.

well you did post a knight barbarian, which is kinda at odds rp wise

or you could make it an assimar for the stats,
