The half-orc ftr/barb actually sounds pretty good. Will saves are based off Wisdom instead of intelligence, so all you are missing out on is personality when you converse (let someone else be your "front-line talker") and skills, which a fighter can do fine without. Unless I was fighting someone that required a plus 2 weapon to hit, I wouldn't use the Moonblade for this character. It does not allow for any strength bonus to damage. I agree with Ratchild, a two hander would be the most effective for this type of fighter.

Another option would be to use a dwarf, and you could have two extra stat points for wisdom to build up your will saves. You lose two strength, but gain 2 constitution which really makes this guy last and last. The Dwarf has a few other perks as well, but a half-orc is definately a bruiser.
