having a look on the search produced similar build:
Clangeddin's Savage Harper (Fig 18 / Brb 17 / HS 5)

Mine goes dev crit route with Half Orc.


My thoughts:
- Have included greataxe cos thats just what a barb should use, Heavy Flail would result in more Dev Crits and would be great for bludgeon for the usual reasons
- Gets all the goodies by Lvl 30
- Needs a way to deal with spellcasters - can invis (HS) and KD but casters will more than likely resist his terrifying rage
- Have included expertise for boss battles where we are looking to roll 20's to hit anyway
- Needs access to mind immun, always a weakness with ftr types
- Relatively light HP for a frontline fighter, Dwarf would probably fit better with no changes required, could swap out some INT for CON and swap out ESF:Taunt for Toughness
- Fairly skilled for a Half-Orc, with ESF:Disc,Intimidate,Taunt
- Could drop Dex to 8 and up Con to 16
