Con 39 (20 + 5 + 6 amulet + 8 mighty rage). DR 6/-1 (5+ barb feat that gives 1 more DR). I could get fancier with the equipment, but let's just see what he can do with the basics.Assumptions:1) Barb gets 6 shots a round (4 + 1 rapid shot + 1 speed)2) Barb will kill a man with every hit shot (+5 str + 1d8 + 5 magic against 10 + con hp, assuming 10 con), only misses on a 1.3) Archers only hit on a 20, cannot crit (from above), and miss on the 20 half the time due to displacement.4) Barb will know to rage when his hp is low.5) Fight till Barb hits 0 hp.6) Archers get to fire first (why not<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />7) Barb's got enough arrows to get it done.8) HP = 416 hp (max at 1st, 6.5 per level after, rounded up).With this, I calculate a 20th level barb can completely take out an army of 714 guys. Um...yeah that's pretty epic<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
