Hulk Syndrome

[Hadrian_Emrys]

What combination of classes, features, feats, and items are available to abuse the Barbarian's alternative class feature in the PHB2? If I were to go for a level of Spirit Lion Totem Barb from the Complete Champion, are there any non to +1 LA races that would the most from such a build? The idea is to essentially end up with DnD's version of the Hulk in that you are nothing special normally, but once you get angry... Most of my books are out of state, so the only things I have to work with are Frostburn, PHBII, and Dragon Magic until I get back home.

well, races of stone's goliath has a +1 level adjustment and an alternate class feature to grow one size larger when raging. i dont know if that helps.

As mentioned, the goliath's mountain rage can be really fun. IIRC goliath barbarians also get more damage resistance than regular barbarians, but it's /adamantine instead of /-, so it can be overcome more easily.

You want the Streetfighter alternate class feature on this page.

So... thus far the build is Goliath Spirit Totem Barb 1. What exactly are the changes to a Goliath rage aside from getting larger? Reel, wow, I had forgotten about Streetfighter. Talk about messy.

Piss! Does mountain rage work with berseker strength?
