D&D 3e/3.5e/d20The forum for conversations specifically related to the rules and procedures of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, 3.5 Edition, or any fantasy game using the d20 system or a variant thereof (commercially published or not).
Some of these may have been done, I didn't read everything.
Ghost Sound: Korg inconspicuously stands to one side, and tries to imitate an owl.
Phantasmal Killer: Korg is very good at casting this. Nobody has yet realized it is only an illusion of an angry, deluded barbarian half-orc coming to make a pretzel out of their spine.
Raise Dead: Korg lifts up dead thing.
Mirror Image: Material component: Mirror. Korg stands in front of mirror.
Alternate Mirror Image: Korg hops between four spots. Quickly.
Hideous Laughter: Material component: disposable person. Korg makes a joke, and punches out disposable person when he doesn't laugh.
Fireball: Korg throws campfire. (I would love to see how that goes with the DM.)
Alter Self: Korg puffs out his cheeks and walks on his knees.
I wouldn't recommend giving him a penalty to Int (he could use the skill points to put into various disguise or bluff skills or whatever) but he could totally dump Wis or something. I always though of Intelligence as being (the mental ability to think up cool stuff) while Wisdom is (the mental ability to avoid doing stupid stuff). Charisma is just the ability to look cool while doing whatever you're doing... be it cool or stupid.
Anyway, he'll also need a beard. Wizards have long flowing beards while barbarians might have wild unshaven beards, just give your wild beard a few run-throughs with a comb and you've got the wizard look down pat.
Of course, you could always try to equate a wizards power with the length of their beard.
Evil Wizard: So, you foolish adventurers have come to stop my masters plans? Well, I wil defeat you all with my powerf...
Korg: Korg challange dumb wizard to wizard duel!
Evil Wizard (has no points in sense motive): Oh, so I finally meet the famed Korg the Magical. I must admit you've provem quite effective despite your... ahem... mongrel heritage.
Korg: Korg better wizard than you because Korgs beards bigger than your beard! Korg break your beard and you not be any kind of wizard to hurt anyone!
Evil Wizard: Umm... I see, you think your greater age and experience will give you victory. (Gah, how I dislike dealing with other wizards. We have such abysmal charisma that its a wonder we can talk straight). Well you're mistaken,Old Man! My youth and vitality will se me triumph over you ancie...
Korg: Arcane....DISJUNCTION! RAHHHH!!! *Korg runs up to the Evil Wizard, grabs onto his beard and rips it right off of his face!*
Evil Wizard: HOly Sweet mother of!! My Face, my beauiful face! *grabs onto the bleeding part of his face where his beard was*
Korg: Smite EVILL! *Smashes the evil wizard over the head with his staff of smiting*
Paladin (still a fighter with a horse): Wow, such a wonderous display. Looks like that necromancer won't be causing any more troubles.
Evil Wizard: Oh god I'm in such pain...
Korg: *snaps the evil wizards neck* Korg good at breaking neckromancers.
Paladin: Well then, I'll just go search the rest of the place: Detect Evil *looks at some ugly minion* ... he's evi! Kill him! *kills the minion* Detect Evil *looks at a hot chick* She's good... but wounded. Time to lay on hands!
Korg: Now Korg take evil wizards power for Korgs own. *Takes the ripped off beard and knits the hair into his own beard to make it longer* Now Korgs beard bigger than ever! Korgs wizardly powers get better every time Korg beat other wizards in wizard duels.
If you want to play Korg as being "Fairly smart in his own way." Have him take an interest in stuff like riddles or arcane theories. Not that he cares for them or even half-understands them but he knows how to spout stuff that seems magical for those not versed in it while giving severe headaches to those who actually know how magic works.
Korg: Evil Wizard not be able to defeat Korg because Korgs familiar better than your familiar and grant Korg more spells! *holds up terrified cat*
Evil Wizard: What? Thats not... I don't even have a familiar! Familiars are a waste because wizards lose power if their familiar gets hurt.
Korg: Exactly! Clerics gets spells from gods and get all kinds of spells and can wear armor. Wizards get spells from tiny animals *screaming cat* and get specific blasty spells but can't wear bulky armor. You no have familiar to give you spells while I have a familiar so I stronger than you and you lose already!
Evil Wizard (also has no ranks in sense motive): What?! Thats not possib... but it makes logical sense that the source of magic would require a secondary node to transmit the infromation through nondimentional space...
Korg: Arcane Transformationg! *flexes muscles* Rawwr! *Smashes wizard with his staff*
Evil Wizard: Nooo! I knew I should have gotten that toad familiar instead of trading it for an extra feat! *dies*
Not sure what skills you want Korg to have but Handle Animal could let you train some animals to be your familiars/summoned monsters/thralls or whatever.
Also, there is the feat "Able Learner" that lets you buy cross class skill ranks at a ratio of 1:1 but are still limited by the maximum ranks you can have in the skill. So, instead of a character using their skill points to max out one class skill could train in two cross class skills for exactly the same numer of skill points.
Not sure how well this fits in with the character concept but I'm thinking having Korg moderately skilled in bluffing, sense motive, and other skills could come in handy while pretending to be a wizard. Unless you'd rather he just brute force his way through everything which could work out just as well.
Also: He can train various animals to help him (either the nice way or the les than nice way). Use a skunk as the animal focus for the stinking cloud spell.
Oh, and see if there is a way to grapple an enemy wizard by their beard and twirl them around in a circle.
LOLOLOL! I literally almost choked on a damn cracker as I was reading the bit about Korg ripping off the beard. So freaking hilarious!
And no one has mentioned yet Korg's strongest spell, the bane of any spellcasters!
Fear the mighty Mage's Disjunction - Any enemy spellcaster within Korg's fists radius is disjoined. That is, the mage itself is separated into its individual components... say, bones, flesh, muscles, tongue, brain, spinal chord...

"Korg make shelaylay oyl (a bottle of cinnamon oil), so majik staff (greatclub) hit harder."
"Isn't that a druid spell?"
Cue rage and numerous "inflict spells".
"Oh sweet pelor that burns"
Also korg master of psionics. Korg manerfest:
Schism - starts talking to himself, and allows him to cast multiple arcane strikes each round (iteratives)
Shatter Mindblank - also affects teeth.
Ego Whip - "not in the face, not in the face".
Time Hop - knock them into next Tuesday.
Energy Retort - korg only one that manerfest this power as wood (robilar's gambit+greatclub)
Psychic crush - Headbutt.
Affinity Field - whenever someone hits you, you punch everyone else in the area just as hard.
Elfsight-pulls out a severed elf head, and points it all around, when that doesn't work shout "dang this only half-elf".
You might want to take a peek at the spoiler posted just above you -- Korg 'cast' "Arcane Disjunction" there.
Amazing, they are really worded identically.
By the way, could you please point out in which rulebook Arcane Disjunction can be found? Thanks!

A Barbarian Wizard? That Character must have been an illegitimate child to an actual wizard, but was raised by his father, being the chief of his clan.
