I don't feel the need to play this since I have done similar things, but I am curious to see how it pans out in practise. Thus I suggest it.

Race: The gimp powergamey no-brainer is Earth Genesi, but any CON or STR boosted race will synergise, and most races can squeeze it in, I think. The stats below are the bare minimums of a flat human, so you can tailor around it as seen fit.

Statto:

STR 18 -> 20
DEX meh
CON 16 -> 21
WIS meh
INT 10
CHA meh

Feato:

1 [optional]
3 Knockdown
6 Weapon Focus
9 Improved Crits
12 Blindfight
15 Skill Focus Listen
18 Skill Focus Spot

21 Epic DR I
24 Epic DR II
27 Epic DR III
30 Armourskin
MS1 Great STR I
MS5 Great STR II
Barb24 Mighty Rage
Ftr1 Epic WF

It's not a PvP build because of no-scrolls, but for PvE, especially PvBoss, it looks promising; 1000HP and 19/- DR with kit and 50+AB.

For a fun variant on this I had a buddy of mine playing knight commander on a gold dwarf. 1.2k hp, terrifying rage, physical immunity % stacking with epic damage reduction, and a damage shield that stacks with elemental shield made this thing fun to just mindlessly farm with.
