Hello I am starting a new game soon and need help with my character
I Plan to Play Feral Goliath Barbarian and take Racial sub levels

Personally, I never take more than two levels of Barbarian. Rage is all you need to feel like one and you get Rage right away. So, with that in mind, some sample builds that can utilize the Goliath Barbarian sub levels well:

Sample build 1: A normal tripper

Goliath Wolf Totem Barbarian 2 / (maybe Fighter 2) / Crusader X

Feats: Power Attack, Improved Trip (from Wolf Totem), Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Spiked Chain), Combat Reflexes, Extra Rage
Maneuvers: Thicket of Blades

How it works: Grow big. Trip stuff. Whack them when they're down. Take 2 levels of Fighter to get extra feats.

Sample build 2:

Something like the second build here (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=1532.0;wap2). You can add a Warblade dip for utility maneuvers and such. Compared to the first build, the upside is that you'll deal a lot of damage when you can charge. The downside is that it's a one trick pony.

Depending on alignment etc., Hellreaver (FC2, p.92) is a great PrC for this type of concept.
