Hello, everybody!
It's been a while since I've posted in this sub-forum, but I promise I'm still alive, despite Red Fel's best efforts to poison me with well made fruit cake... To the point! I am trying to repair a sheet that was eaten by the great Myth-Weavers massacre. I need to make a thematic, moderately optimized, no magic, orc! Now this isn't just any orc, this orc gets to use a special homebrew orc race and gets some nifty orc-only rage progression. I'll post the race below. Basically, I need to create a super high strength orc chief that despises magic and elves. I'd like to mostly be full-attacking things, but opening combat with a Headlong Rush (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20030301a) is definitely on the table.
Special Note: At some point, I have to take Might Makes Right (Races of Faerun, page 166).

Orc's Rage (Su)
Automatic Languages: Common, Orc. Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Giant, Gnoll, Goblin, Undercommon.
Favored Class: Fighter.
Orcs have a unique racial Rage, the effects of which do not stack with Rages gained from Barbarian.
Orc's Rage (Su)
Orc’s Rage is usable 2/Day at Level One. This increases to 4/Day at Level Twelve. Orc’s Rage grants +4 Strength, +4 Constitution and a +2 Morale Bonus on Will Saves, but applies a -2 to Armor Class.
Improved Orc’s Rage (Su)
At 6th level, a Orcs natural rage improves. The Orcs bonuses to Strength and Constitution increase to +6, and the Morale bonus on Will Saves increase to +3. In addition, when a Orc rages, the player can choose between the bonus effect of receiving DR 5/-, or +2 to Attack rolls and +3 to Damage rolls for the duration of the Rage.
Greater Orc’s Rage (Su)
At 12th level, a Orcs rage improves again. The Orcs bonuses to Strength and Constitution increase to +8, and the Morale bonus on Will Saves increase to +4. The Orcs Bonus rage effects increase to DR10/- or +4 to Attack rolls and +6 to Damage rolls. In addition, an Orc no longer becomes Fatigued at the end of his rage.
Ultimate Orc’s Rage (Su)
At 20th Level, a Orcs rage improves for the last time. The Orcs bonuses to Strength and Constitution increase to +10, and the Morale bonus on Will Saves increase to +5.
Gladiatorial Feats
There are some extra rules for this game, but instead of explaining them I'll just give you what you need to know. I get five Fighter Bonus Feats that can be sprinkled throughout my first 11 levels.

Final Thoughts: I've been looking at my options for finishing the back end of this build's levels and I'm torn. War Hulk is a favorite of mine, but the lack of BAB is disheartening. Frenzied Berserker could be good, but it's feat heavy.
