Reason for Polearm focus: Massive Halberd of Hate is NON-randomly itemized (guaranteed find in Kuldahar IWD2).
If you find Best Weapon Icewind Dale 2 randomly itemized, then tailor weapon feats to greataxe instead.
Barbarian Build Damage Reduction
DR seems to be doubled for ranged weapons. For example, at DR1 the Barbarian resists 2 points of damage from a bullet fired from a sling, but only one point of damage from a hit from a quarterstaff (both bullet and staff inflict bludgeoning damage). Indeed, at DR1 Barbs resist 2 points of piercing damage from arrows fired from bows, too. Thus, at DR6, Barbs are resisting 12 dmg from projectiles.
DR from the magical hide armors stack with Barb DR as well: Abishai Hide Armor IWD2. Assuming equal to or less than +2 enchantment, this allows Barb to resist 16 slashing dmg per hit and 22 piercing dmg per hit, for example.
