    Default I need help deciding how to build my barbarian

    As the title says, I'm looking to build a Barbarian. I am going drow for the extra rapier dmg and for the higher cha. I am looking to go high dmg, with the build I can get a 57 intimidate without recitation and bard songs, and an approximate 59 standing ac (uncanny dodge factored in) (68 ac with recitation, bard song, and full barkskin). In Vision of destruction I could be an intimitank (if I don't use rage). I would have a 505 hp unraged, so that should be enough hp to be an intimitank, factoring in my 68 ac. Both my tanks will use a +5 mithral heavy shield with +1 ac ritual on it when they are functioning as an intimitank. When not functioning as an intimitank in a raid, they will be either dual weilding or using a two-handed weapon (Great Axe). [The fighter I have currently doesn't use twf but is usually dual weilding alot. I am switching out for twf.]

    I could go Option 1
    Str 16
    Dex16
    Con14
    Int 10
    Wis 8
    Cha 12

    for Two Weapon Fighting

    or Option 2

    Str 18
    Dex 10
    Con 14
    Int 10
    Wis 8
    Cha 12

    For more 2 more base str

    With Option 1 I would go

    lvl1-Toughness
    lvl3-Two Weapon Fighting
    lvl6-Improved Two Weapon Fighting
    lvl9-Improved Crit Peircing
    lvl12-Oversized Two Weapon Fighting
    lvl15-Skill Focus: Intimidate

    With Option 2 I would go

    lvl1-Toughness
    lvl3-Profiency: Khopesh
    lvl6-Power Attack
    lvl9-Improved Crit Slashing
    lvl12Improved Crit Peircing
    lvl15-Skill Focus: Intimidate

    Both builds seem fun for me to play but I am have a hard time deciding which one to choose from.

    Option1 would be real good with two weapon fighting, esp. with oversized twf, I could have a holy blast heavy pick in my main-hand and a stat dmger in my off-hand. Or I could dual weild stat dmgers.

    Option2 would be geared towards both heavy picks, rapiers, khopeshes, great axes, and basically all pericing and slashing weapons. Can crit more with great axes and scimitars than Option 1.




    or Option 3 for the basic two weapon fighting, and 1 less intimdate for a 56 (without recitation and bard songs).

    str 18
    dex 12 [Eventual +3 tome brings build to 15 dex]
    con 14
    int 10
    wis 8
    cha 10

    lvl1-Toughness
    lvl3-Two Weapon Fighting
    lvl6-Power Attack
    lvl9-Improved Crit Slashing
    lvl12Improved Crit Peircing
    lvl15-Skill Focus: Intimidate

    or Option 4 exactly like Option3 except instead of power attack, I have oversized two weapon fighting.

    str 18
    dex 12 [Eventual +3 tome brings build to 15 dex]
    con 14
    int 10
    wis 8
    cha 10

    lvl1-Toughness
    lvl3-Two Weapon Fighting
    lvl6-Oversized Two Weapon Fighting
    lvl9-Improved Crit Slashing
    lvl12Improved Crit Peircing
    lvl15-Skill Focus: Intimidate

    I have a hard time chosing between 1 3, or 4. Can someone give me advice on whether to choose build 1, 3, or 4? (I'm leaning more towards build option4. But Build 1 also looks fun).
