What is the biggest that you can make a PC using RAW in D&D 3.5e? This is just morbid curiosity, not planning on trying to actually do it in my game

So recently my group has decided that we will all try learning 3.5 as we have heard about how it is the edition with the most customization, and because we were getting bored with 5e. The problem though is that one of my friends has a brother that gave us this massive flashdrive with basically every book in 3.5, and I'm struggling to wrap my head around how to make my character. I wanted to make a literal child of prophecy who from years of their name being used by the church to justify its crusades, murders, and enforcement of guidelines. I planned for them to be a barbarian as they think they are harnessing gods furry when in reality it is from there deep seeded rage against the church. I want to know on if there is a class that has similar abilities like a barbarian, but also has the chance for spell casting, or even if there simply is a better barbarian like class as so far from what I read they seem pretty lackluster to the spell casters in 3.5. Also any advice on character building would be much appreciated as while I have played dnd, this is my first time with 3.5

We're playing a homebrew campaign of his where there's no humanoid people, but instead monsterpeople (people with animal traits).

I'm a catperson in the campaign, and I have the ability to wild shape and turn into a massive cat once a day.

So I was looking at "Weapon Graft" and told My DM

"Yo, so you know how weapon graft only lets You attach them in place of your hands?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I be able to attach my Fullblade to my tail while in Cat form?"

"Give me a good reason why I should let you."

"It would be like Blade Wolf from Metal Gear Revengeance."

"Just because of that argument, yes."

Long ago, for a galaxy far far away. I had found a Master index for the WOTC Star Wars Saga Edition that had basically all the books compiled into a super large pdf where you could find all the rules and what book and page it was referenced for that game. Was hoping to find something similar for D&D 3.5. But so far my Google search has failed me. Anyone know of anything like that and where I could be found?
