Maybe he can only kill 40 foes solo before dying rather than hundreds.Edit: Not sure how Help action would be relevant - you would allow those to rear to grant Advantage to those in front? Might be reasonable to simulate the press of battle.Edit 2: Conan in the story is definitely not an F20, or B20, he wears a chain shirt with shield so probably AC 13+2+2= 17. He comes across ca 6th-7th level to my mind, he is definitely much tougher than the Argossean sailors who get massacred by Belit's pirates, who seem fairly competent so +4 attack/d6+2 seems reasonable, vs a regular MM tribesman +3/d6+1. Or the sailors might have been 4 hit point Commoners vs regular 11 hp Tribesmen at the low end. But they are described as fairly sturdy so IMC I would have statted the sailors at 2 hd, 9-11 hp & STR 12 ATT +3/d6+1, and the pirates I might have given an extra hd, 3d8+3 > 16 hp, with ATT +4/d6+2.Actually there was a similar encounter IMC (Wilderlands) May 2017 where Hakeem the high level (Tier IV) Barbarian had his ship boarded by pirates, I actually based the pirates off the Scout stat block but with 2 melee attacks/round. Hakeem killed their leader Typhoon in single combat and persuaded the new pirate chief to withdraw rather than lose dozens of men in taking Hakeem down.The pirate leader Typhoon was really nasty:CAPTAIN TYPHOON, the Titan's Bastard KILLED BY HAKEEM M2 4447GoliathArmor Class: 15 (Unarmoured Toughness)Hit Points: 200 (20d12 +60) plus 10 for Stone's EnduranceSpeed: 30ft (9m / 6 sqr)Proficiency: +4STR22 (+6)DEX14 (+2)CON17 (+3)INT10 (+0)WIS14 (+2)CHA12 (+1)Skills: Athletics +10 Intimidation +5 Animal Handling +6 Survival +6 Nature +4Saving Throws: Strength +10 Constitution +7Challenge: 12 (8400 XP) Racial FeaturesAbility Modifiers: +2 Str, +1 ConNatural Athlete: You have proficiency in the Athletics skill.Powerful Build: You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.Mountain Born: You're acclimated to high altitude, including elevations above 20,000 feet.

On a hit the Howling Axe gives a terrifying scream. Foes of 6 hd or less who hear the Scream for the first time are Frightened for 1 minute/10 rounds.
