02-22-07, 09:20 AM I am still kind of new to the whole d and d, but how much hp would a 5th lvl barbarian get when he rages? Assume he has 60 hp already and has a con. score of 16.

if he had 60 HP and is 5th level with a con of 16, raging would rais his con to 20, thus increasing his con modifier from +3 to +5 this would increase his HP/level by +2. granting him +2 x 5(level) = 10 HP for a new total of 70 HP

02-22-07, 10:14 PM The HP benefit of raging is the same for any Barbarian, regardless of his initial HP or Con. It might be easier to see it simply as:

Rage: 2 extra HP per level (that's total character level, plus any racial hit dice).

Greater rage: 3 extra HP per level.

Mighty rage: 4 extra HP per level.

...with a +2, +3 or +4 to Fort saves, as appropriate.

The downfall of many a careless barbarian. :cool:
