Level/Ability Damage Immunity? + Barbarian Question

[Gwazi Magnum]

What are ways I can use to be immune to things such as ability and level damage such as spells that lower a characters level?

+ Do you know of any Barbarian Variants that replaces either their boosted land speed, given DR or trap sense?

If not do you know of any base classes with High BAB and HD12?

[JeminiZero]

For high BAB/d12 class, see Warblade (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20060802a&page=2) from Tome of Battle.
