Need help with my barbarian

[BladeMaster0182]

Hi there,

I'm currently in the Kingmaker campaign and I'm playing a Half-Ogre (Tome of Secrets except the -2 Wis is a -2 Cha) barbarian and I am at a loss.

Current build

Retin Bullpuncher Lvl 3 barbarian
Str - 21
Dex - 14
Con - 18
Int - 5
Wis - 10
Cha - 5

Feat: Power Attack, Level 3 feat?
Skills: Intimidate 3 ranks, Handle Animal, Perception, Ride, and Acrobatics 1 rank
Drawback: Illiterate (using drawback rules from the Tome)
Weapon: Greataxe.
Armor: Mstwk Scale mail and Buckler
Rage Power: Superstitious

I have no idea what to do with this character. I basically want to rage and deal tons of damage. Retin is simple minded. He wants to do good but he is often confused as to how (We just had the "Don't kill sleeping bandits" speech ("But they're bad people! If they're dead, they can't be bad!"))

I have no idea what rage powers to take, if I should dip into fighter, or what feats I should take outside of Power Attack, Cleave, Dodge, Vital Strike, and maybe Intimidating Prowess.

Also if you have a better race/class that I can use (3.5 stuff is allowed) name it. I was thinking a goliath , if only for the stats and monstrous build.

At low level a great tactic with a barbarian is combat reflexes and a reach weapon. Even if you lose initiative if you get charged you can likely kill 3 low level enemies with a glaive or some souch weapon as they approach you. Wear spiked armor or something of that sort to kill them if they get within 5 ft and you can't 5 ft away for some reason.

Fighter goes great with barbarian but doesn't stack with your rage powers. Most GM's would let you move full barbarian speed in heavier than light armor when you get a fighter armor training to allow full movement in medium/heavy armor.

The bite rage power is great. You can use it to help get out of grapples and getting an extra attack is always a great boon.
