I'm currently going human Warblade. We're starting at level 2 and it's unknown how long we'll last. Basically, I'll be playing doing quite a bit of sundering and bull rushing. Here's my character info at level 2 and beyond (I haven't decided the exact order to take feats):

Stats:
Str 16 = 8 + 8 (10 pts)
Dex 14 = 8 + 6 (6 pts)
Con 14 = 8 + 6 (6 pts)
Int 16 = 8 + 8 (10 pts)
Wis 8 = 8 + 0 (0 pts)
Cha 8 = 8 + 0 (0 pts)

HP (12 + 2) + (d12 + 2)
BAB +2
Fort 5 = 3 + 2
Ref 5 = 0 + 2 + 3
Will -4 = 0 - 1 - 3

Feats:
Combat Reflexes (lvl 1)
Exotic Weapon Prof Fullblade (human)
Power Attack (flaw, Shaky)
Improved Bull Rush (flaw, Weak Will)
(lvl 3)
(lvl 5)
Shock Trooper (lvl 6)
Improved Sunder (lvl 9)
Combat Brute (lvl 9)
Robilar's Gambit (lvl 12)
(lvl 13)
(lvl 15)
(lvl 17)
(lvl 18)

somewhere: Leap Attack

I'd say yes, even if you can't buyout the LA.

Where'd you get the free feat to take Leap Attack at level 5? (It's not a warblade bonus feat.)

Knockback is fun on a Goliath Warblade, especially at lowish levels. Pump all of your BAB into Power Attack, and Emerald Razor for the moon. You can get like, 20' long punts even at that low level if you roll well. Its pretty impressive.

I really like Goliath, and their Jump ability goes very well with the Tiger Claw strikes that require a Jump check. Since you would lose a feat, I'd say you drop the Fullblade proficiency and just roll with a Greatsword.

If you go Goliath, I believe that their Powerful Build ability would allow them to use a Fullblade two handed as a martial weapon, without the spending of the feat. On the same note, just using a large greatsword will net you more damage anyways. Of course, you could still take the feat to use it one handed, or possibly to use an even larger fullblade two handed.
