I will play a half-ogre (LA+2) barbarian 10in an upcoming campaign.
I know that I get the starting gold of a 12th level character.
Do I get the feats/stat increases of a level 10 or 12 character?
10th Only

That is correct.

10th.

Yeah I should have clarified which question I was answering. So the dragon is correct, you get money as if you were 12th but everything else is at 10th.

You also have the XP of a 12th level character.

Yes, so instead of 10,000 xp to get to 11th level your going to need 12,000 xp. So if your DM gave you a set amount of experience to make a character then your character would only be a 8th level barbarian.

Actually, we rolled a d20 to determine the starting level of the campaign :)
Thanks for the answers guys.
You're welcome. :D

Will try. We're playing a game without AoO.

A Half-Ogre 10th Level Barbarian is an ECL of 16th level character (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monstersAsRaces.htm#levelAdjustmentandEffectiveCharacterLevel).
10 (Barbarian levels) + 2 (Level Adjustment) + 4 (Racial Hit Dice) = 16.
So you should start with the XP of the 16th level character and gold of one. And get your next class level when you get to 17th level.
Unless your GM is using the optional rule to buy down the level adjustment (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/reducingLevelAdjustments.htm). In which case you could have bought it down at 6th and 9th level.
At a cost of 11,000 xp (at the 6th level Barbarian) plus 13,000 (at 9th level Barbarian) so you'll be 23,000 xp behind any other PC's without a LA race.

Why in the world would it be ECL 16? :confused: LA +2, Lvl.10 = 12
Check the links to the SRD I provided above, or the Monster Manual.
ECL is LA+Racial HD+Class levels. So an Ogre at 4 HD and LA +2 is an ECL of 6 before you add any class levels.
Edit: Duh silly me forgot the "Half" bit, I take it that has no Racial Hit Dice? I was thinking of Ogres.

Funny thing is that you actually wrote half-ogre in your other post :)
But yeah, the half-ogre don't have any racial HD.

Well, I still have reach and I'm still Large with a high Str.
Maybe I should I made a half-ogre monk :)

Whirlwind attack could be nice, you'll be able to hit 24 squares instead of the usual 8.

My build: Monk 2/Fighter 1/Ranger 1/Psion 2. The next level will be Illithid Slayer. :D
