Lvl1-25 barb. build ideas

Ok so I havn't played NWN at all in over a year. I was halfway through HotU but I got bored of my goody/plain pally. The class I really love is the barbarian, but since persuade is my fav skill I went with pally instead. So I'm trying to come up with a good barb build specifically geared towards HotU which means the Epic Character Builds are hard to refference because they are geared towards lvl40. Please help me with what classes to multiclass, how many levels of which class and when in the dev of the char to take those levels. Also feats and stats would be great too.

Ok so what I have so far is
Human Barbarian (RP wise he has to be human), with the possible addition of Fighter and/or Champion of Torm levels.

Fighter levels for heavy armor, feats, maybe weapon spec although to keep the character interesting I would like to keep the weapon selection as versatile as possible, as it is I have no idea what weapon I would spec in, but I suppose I have to decide sooner or later so I can take the critical feats.

Champion of Torm levels would be to take advantage of the saves, as I'm pretty sure thats a big deal in HotU.

Just to throw this out there, I like a 5 fighter/1 Bard/10 RDD/Rest in Bard build. At the end of HoT, with all your buffs and equipment, your STR is at a rockin' 45. The comes out to a modifer of around 17. At the end of your RDD lvls, you also get a CHA boost is good for the bard.

Back to the Barbarian. If you are willing to split stats, get some cleric lvls so you can buff the crap out of your guy. I'm interested to see how that turns out. You can always take RDD lvls with your barbarian.

Since it's HotU, I would suggest Barb/Fighter/WM going for all feats for two-weapon fighting with nothing but Dwarven Waraxes (or Bastard Swords, although I prefer the former). It should be human, since the WM is quite feat intensive. Obviously, this would be a STR-centric build. Skimp and save every gp for chapter 2+3, and then you enjoy!

Edit:
Or you could replace Fighter with the CoT if you would rather sacrifice +6 dmg/hit (and we're talking 6 to 7 attacks per round here) for slightly better saves, since you'd be wanting more Barb levels than Fighter or CoT for those Rages. Although I would say that a good offense is also a good defense, since tripping a spell in mid cast (concentration vs dmg) beats saving against one any day. If you really want to max out Barb levels, you can take Fighter 4 at character level 21. So with Fighter 4/WM 7, this leaves you with 29 Barb levels for max HP and DR for all your Raging pleasure.
