I'm trying to figure out the touch ac of a barbarian with the ghost rager rage power and I'm not sure if I should subtract the ac penalties from rage and from reckless abandon from the barbarian's touch ac or just from his normal ac. Any opinions appreciated.

When wielded by a raging barbarian, a furious weapon has an enhancement bonus of +2 better than normal. Does this mean that furious weapons get around the conventional +5 cap and if so does this also mean that they can overcome DR/epic?

Is there a system for figuring out xp for many easy enemies other than just adding up the xp for many low CR encounters?

I ask because in tonight's session our party of 4 PC's at level 5 managed to defeat an army of 40 gnolls with a well placed fireball and a castings of glitterdust. All in all it was a rather easy fight, but doing the math for 40 CR1 opponents it looks like each of us took home 4000 xp each, the same amount we would have received from a CR11 encounter. This seems odd since the encounter was much easier than a CR11.
