====How to play one effectively====
You've got three options, depending on how optimized you want to be:

#Dip and get out (dungeoncrusher alternate class features aren't bad even if you don't wanna go past 2)
#Add some homebrew bullsh** to make them suck less
#Play as an orc or warforged. Orcs have +4 strength and no penalties to con or dex, which is fucking amazing for a +0 LA race. Warforged, meanwhile, have a shitload of immunities so you don't have to worry about saves so much and can take Adamantine Body at level 1 and be borderline indestructible for those first several levels until they can prestige into Juggernaut. If all you can do is hit stuff with a stick, you might as well get really really good at it. Dwarf might also be a good choice of race.

Weaponwise, you'll want to get one of the best options: spiked chain, rope dart, or dragon chain (for trip builds), kaorti resin jovar or kaorti resin elven courtblade (for crit builds), dwarven warpike (for polearm builds), gnomish quickrazor (for iaijutsu focus), and so on.
