For example, let him TWF with short swords or kukris. Unapproachable east has a feat which lets him make a full attack with light weapons on a charge, or you could go complete champion's lion totem for pounce. Hopefully, one attack misses, while the other hits, but the fighter should survive the 7-8 damage dealt. Whirling frenzy (UA) gives you an extra attack, but at a penalty. So you could try spreading them out amongst multiple PCs. This may let you work around the binary nature of his attacks (he either hits and 1-shots a PC, or misses and does squat). I usually hold them off until around 4th lv (4 of them are still a fairly scary challenge for a 4th lv party).Or the barb could win initiative, charge (covering up to 80-ft), and still attack at +10 to-hit (+1bab, +6str, +2charge, +1weapon focus). Given that a 1st lv PC averages around 16-17 AC, he stands a fairly high chance of hitting.</blockquote>
