I never made a barbarian before, so I figured I try one. The end result is pretty good: 648 hit points, 13 points of damage reduction, an okay AB (kind of low, but with taunt and terrifying rage it'll do), pretty good damage per hit and a fortitude save high enough to have a good chance against devastating critical. Let me know what you guys think?

Advantages

-Terrifying Rage and Taunt. This can combine to lower an opponents AC by a maximum 8 points.
-Devastating Critical.
-13 points of damage reduction and over 600 hit points.
-High enough fortitude save to make most devastating critical DC checks.

Disadvantages

-No spell casting ability.
-Decent reflex and will saves. Not high enough to make most spell checks against a strong caster though.
