Dwarven 18 ranger/2 barbarian 28 point

[Yocharles]

This dwarven build was requested by a friend of mine. I need feedback, and ways to improve upon it. It was based off of a dwarven slayer, who wore only robes and occasionally light armor. Probably not the best of builds, any recommendations will be appreciated.

You don't need so much DEX; you'll get the TWF feats free and this is not an AC build. I would probably do base stats 18 / 14 / 16 / 8 / 8 / 8 with all lvl-ups into STR. You can drop Tumble to a single rank.

Your feats are a little screwed up; looks like you took a fighter splash then removed it, but not without removing the bonus feat first. [Builder can be a little wonky that way.] I would take the Tempest pre-reqs first - Dodge (1), Mobility (3), Spring Attack (6) - then Imp Crit Slash (9). After that you'll want Toughness, Power Attack, and Oversized TWF, probably in that order.

For Favored Enemies the usual advice is Undead, Giants, Evil Outsiders, and either Elementals or Constructs (both if pure ranger).
