i guess five ftr are pre-epic and epic, and one on 29? Kensai or no? Skills? Feats, ok you mention mostly with weapons thats mostly it.

I think the build should be fine kensai since you can't take any UMD. For weapon I'd go dwarven waraxe (Dwarves can use them with battle axe feats) for the onehand/twohand utility it provides.

You actually want to go 20 barbarian pre epic and use your fighter level bonus feats in epic to pick up EDR.

You get enough feats to pick up the essentials. If you have more than 13 int, consider disarm if 2h or expertise if 1h.

A Q..what to take for 2h? Or is better to stick with waraxe/battleaxe and shield as suggested here and sometimes go dual?! No scimita ofc.

I feel unsure what to do lol.

Imho dual depends on your possible AB with it?

I would go kensai, duergar grants you immunity to paralise, and kensai would increase your saves.

It is possible to také small dip into ranger (5 lvls?) to get use of epic leather armour for ranger. With it you can reach up to 47 AC without expertise on barbarian with shield. Also, if you také ranger bonus feats at epic levels you may také several epic feats instead of FE.

Edit: Ranger would also grant access to the awsome spear which is 2d6 divine perma essence.

Yes, fewer feats. Ranger variant is one for AC imho.

Use dwarf waraxe which you can use 2h or with shield as a duergar. Don't go two handed on this character.

Don’t you require enough ranger leaves to be able to use the spear?
