It is an abomination. And I don't mean to hijack 300pounders post, but perhaps there will be ideas in here to help with his build. I did this on my ipad, so don't have a link or know how to easily share. Below are the hilights.
First I've found 1 more hp, so am up to 219.
1. I gave up all treasure enhancers, so that makes it unrealistic right there. You could equip CoA and only give up 2 hp. Equipping the 3 ioun stones would cost more hp, but you could probably stay over 200.
2. You need to use several consumables - Yew Runestone, Elixir of Vitality, Totem Paint Crushed Ruby and Hitchhiking Ghost: Shog so you can equip Belt of the Sweetwoods (I had an odd constitution number)
3. I equip the Redoubt set for 5hp. I considered breaking up the set to see if the 3 slots they use could give me more hp. For a fighter or paladin class, maybe, but not for a barbarian. Best I could do is break even, so I kept the set. If I had an odd constitution number, then the Fae Elm Armor combined with the Tankard of Health would have been better. I guess if you don't have all the +1 constitution things I use, that's an option.
4. Ear slot uses Arcane Earcuff and Icecrag Hero's Earcuff. I toyed with Earcuff of Orbits, but the extra 2 IS slots won't give me 5 hp.
5. Waist slot uses Orions Belt. The Belt of Blessed Constitution is only 5 hp. The extra slots from Orion's give me Garnet Charm, IS Garnet Sphere and IS Jasper Spheroid which total 8 hp.
6. Charm slots are Garnet Charm, Charm of Awakened Synergy (assume 10hp for entire party), Charm of Brooching, Charm of the Elk, Greater Garnet Charm and Wil's Dragonheart. You want 6 charms to get the max hp effect from IS Charming Cabochon.
7. IS slots are Garnet Sphere, Charoite Cuboid, Charming Cabochon, Garnet Cube, Jasper Spheroid, Sunstone Shard and Elfstone Shard.
8. In the wrist slot I went with Bracers of Fast Fitness. I toyed with Charm Bracelet, but 2 extra charms can only get me 4hp, the Bracers get me 5hp.
9. I don't advise equipping these except for hp, but went with Gloves of the Dark Gnome and Berserker Cloak for their 2 constitution and 5hp each. My other back slot goes to Cloak of the Elm.
10. Neck slot went to Medallion of Valhalla for the 4 constitution and 10hp.
11. Ring slots went to Ring of Stamina and Ring of the Dire Boar.
12. Boots went to Shoes of the Nethercraft, another item few would equp when you have Boots of the 4 Winds.
13. I was able to get to 5th level using Dungeonbane Kilt (constitution) and Rod of 7 parts.
14. You need to go with the Semi-lich skull and 7 individual teeth. Another less than optimal choice in many cases.
15. Other miscellaneous items include Shirt of the Underdark and Master Ale Drinkers Bead.
16. I didn't see anything in the weapon, eyes, figurine or shin slots to help me with hp, so use whatever you prefer there.
I think that's it. When you add 1 hp for using the app you get to 219 hp. AC is only 24/29, so not that great, but not terrible Fortitude save bonus is 26, which is good, but reflex saves are only 6 and will saves are only 3. Figurine of Power: Pixie could save you on one reflex fail. Psychic power could save you on one will fail. Melee to hit/damage are +12/+12, but with a good bard you could get that to +16/+16 and with greater rage you're almost respectable.
The biggest drawback are lack of treasure enhancers. I think you'd at minimum want to use CoA if you have it and with a good party you should do ok at nightmare level. At least you can take a lot of damage. And if you combine with the new cleric ability to heal 1 ally to full hp, it could be pretty sweet.
DM "Barbarian takes 200 hp of damage."
Cleric: "Cleric heals barbarian to full 219 hp."
I'm thinking you'll run out of time before the barbarian takes 400+ hp of damage. Although, remember, in room 7 you can run into insta-kill situations. In those cases your hp won't matter.
Edit: If you want to get all of your treasure enhancers back, you probably want to lose the Bracers of Fast Fitness for the Arcane Bracelets. You lose 5 hp, but get two IS slots back. You probably drop Jasper Ellipsoid for the 3rd IS slot. You lose 8 hp total, but would get back to full treasure enhancers and still be around 207 hp. (also swapping out to add CoA).
