Zen archer using clustered shots.
By 8th level damage should be +2 bow +2 weapon specialization +6 deadly aim +3 str minimum= 1d8+13 damage per arrow, at 4 attacks on the flurry, 5 with haste, 6 with ki extra attack. Total damage before DR/- applies one time= 6d8+ 78... Avg. total= 105 Dmg avg in a round.
Keep your distance and use all attacks on one opponent for the first 2 rounds. Then the next round move and hit once. Move again and hit and now you should be far away to then do two more rounds of attacks.
Total= 6 rounds. Will take longer if you have less space to work with or they close gap. On the second round of attacks on the first enemy half way through he should drop, so out of your 6 attacks, about 4-5 of them should be on him, and then hell drop, using your last attack or two on the second enemy.

Have Fun with vengence
Well my long post gotveaten... blah
Calm emotions will shut down barbarians nicely
I built a goblin feral gnasher that could get 9 strong attacks a round with a single bite attack and a haste spell. He was quite powerful.
There was a weird words bard going around that could do 10d8 +10x Cha mod in damage at lvl 10 that ignores dr. I will find it for you in a bit.
Gunslingers would blow them to pieces but guns are EXPENSIVE! I don't know i f you could afford them.
Master summoner. Summon moar minions!!! Arcon lanturns are good.
Favored enemy rangers would be good. Especially archers
Goblin alchemist would completely eat them
A pair of cavileers with lances alpha striking
2 orc barbarian grapplers with amplified rage and brutal grappler
Horse archer with single level in sohi monk for mounted skirmisher
Play some kind of kobold and if you win, you can really rub it in!

starter gun is free for a gunslinger, and getting it to masterwork from damaged is covered in gunsmithing. from there its just the average enchanting costs for a weapon like everyone else.
Summon a swarm?
Pretty much this.
Wizard level 5 can annihilate this guy, or at least cause him to run in circles. He has no alchemist fires, any AOE, or non-physical damage.
Invisiblity+Rain of Frogs, concentration takes a standard. Fly if you feel the need to.
Step 1) Be asmir
Step 2) Spend both traits on lowering the metamagic cost of embrace destiny
Step 3) Be evil
Step 4) Spend a feat learning consecrate metamagic
Step 5) Target self with level 1 consecrated embrace destiny
Step 6) Throw a vorpal chakram (Auto crit with consecrate embrace destiny)
Step 7) Kill the barbarian turn 1 with a level 1 character.
Step 8) PvP is broken.
Can someone who is more familiar with these things check this for accuracy please?
I want to applaud, but I want to know it's right before I do.
will do, this looks intresting!
Well so far its kinda legal.
#1. Why aasimar? I see no reason for this. Flavor?
#2. -#4. Gotchya
#5. heres where things get iffy.
Benefit: A consecrated spell is treated as a maximized spell against evil creatures and creatures with the evil subtype. Against all other creatures, this feat does not modify the spell in any way (for example, a consecrated fireball acts as a normal fireball against neutral or good creatures). This feat does not stack with Maximize Spell.
Level Increase: +2 (a consecrated spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell's actual level.)
It is questionable wether Embrace Destiny is used against yourself. Debatable, but I would argue against it.
#6. second problem.
Upon a roll of natural 20 (followed by a successful roll to confirm the critical hit), the weapon severs the opponent's head (if it has one) from its body. Some creatures, such as many aberrations and all oozes, have no heads. Others, such as golems and undead creatures other than vampires, are not affected by the loss of their heads. Most other creatures, however, die when their heads are cut off. A vorpal weapon must be a slashing melee weapon. If you roll this special ability randomly for an inappropriate weapon, reroll.
you can only put this enchantment on a melee weapon. If you throw the weapon it does not gain the benifits of this ability as it is considered an improvised thrown weapon (or a regular thrown weapon in this case) and not a melee weapon at that point. This would work with a melee weapon standing next to the target tho.
#6b. embrace destiny only effects one roll (the roll to hit) and you need two rolls to hit for this to work. The roll to hit and the confirmation roll. You might still be able to do it if you cast true strike on yourself and saved the auto 20 for the confirmation hit might work. Na this still doesnt work as you need to roll a "natural 20" to get vorpal to proc.
#7. You still couldnt do this in one turn as you need to use a standard action to cast embrace destiny, so you couldnt attack till the second turn. Also, embrace destiny only lasts 1 round/level, so a level 1 oracle could not get it off in time.
So no, not really, at least not this way.
Also, one other point of debate. Does using a "recorded Number" and replacing your roll with it still count as rolling? There is no doubt you would crit, but can this be considered a "natural 20?" There is also this sentence to take into account...
"Upon completing this spell, roll a single d20 and record the result. At any point during the duration of this spell, you may use that roll for a single ability check, attack roll, initiative check, saving throw, or skill check, using the recorded result in place of a roll. This spell cannot be used to replace a roll that has already been made; the recorded result must be used instead of a roll. Once you have used this recorded result or the duration of the spell ends, the spell's effect ends. You can't have more than one instance of embrace destiny active on you at the same time."
If it is used "instead of a roll" is it considered rolling at all and if it can, would it be considered a "natural 20?" My thinking is no...
So again, it kinda works, you would still have snags and would have to convince the dm of the grey areas and you still have to confirm the crit somehow.
Next I will show you another trick that can really screw over the barbarian with a 4th level alchemist!
A level 4 alchemist with touch injection and skinsend.
Touch injection allows you to cast skinsend as a melee touch attack that takes effect immediately with saving throws applying as normal. Skinsend has no saving throw.
Skinsend rips your skin off of your body and dumps it in its own square beside you. Normally this takes 10 minutes but touch injection takes effect immediately.
Result: The target has 0 hps, is helpless, cannot be healed, and his consciousness is stuck inside his body. His body has his armor and gear, half hps, and cannot take any actions (as his consciousness is still in his body).
Next you attack the body for 10-15 damage and kill him outright!
1 turn prep time, 1 touch attack, and a little bit of damage and hes killed.
A level 10 half-elf synthesist summoner would easily smash them both. I know you said level 8 but if we have 155 points to work with, that is what the barbarian used, I do not see why you cannot take level 10 and pay the points for it. I left you some points to work with for defensive items. You only need low point buy because the eidolon replaces your physical stats. Use your favored class bonus to get an extra 2 evolution points.
He already said that you can go +/- 1 level, but no more or less according to the rules of the tournament.
Also, as for the aasimar trick above, you can't take Magical Lineage twice to reduce the metamagic cost by 2. You can only take one of any kind of trait (regional, racial, etc.), and since Magical Lineage is the same type as itself, it would be restricted by that. That said, since we're using levels 7-9, you have the higher level spell slot regardless.

It does the same thing, but its a regional trait.
Oh, that's handy. Good catch.

It seems to me, that the barbarians do not have a way to deal with invisibility, I'd just go invisible and play the harasser. Use save or suck spells till they fail them, They eventually will.
If you want to have some fun with them Use Oracles of Waves, and just cast Obscuring mist. Fire away, they can't even find you.
The Greater Invisible, Flying wizard should win the day easily. Does the arena have a ceiling? If not, your line of sight issues are pretty irrelevant.
Pack Dispel Magic and Acid Pit. Maybe also bring along some other damage over time spells, like Acid Arrow, or Flaming Sphere, to drop in the pit on them. You could also use Aqueous Orb to move them around the battlefield and maybe suffocate them, or drop them into a pit. There are numerous spells that could handle these guys without too much difficulty.
You could argue that trait bonuses don't stack with that though.
They're not listed as a bonus, let alone a typed bonus, so there's no reason they wouldn't stack with each other outside of houseruling.
