Only dodge has any chance of being truly effective but it is very expensive to get good at.

If he's got Low-Tech Companion 2 that strength 21 barbarian can dual-weapon (defensive) attack with a pair of oversized ST 18 Morninstars, and put hilts on them while he's at it.
and if it's DF, make them dwarven. They're god-weapons on par with dwarven axes (axes advantage is that they can be used one or two handed, and can sometimes be thrown).

Hell, if you can, get oversized morning stars large enough that they get reach 2, and use Return Strike technique from Martial Arts
