08-06-05, 04:30 PM If a raging barbarian's hit points becomes zero or less (basically unconscious), what happens to his rage?

If the rage ends at that point, he would lose his extra 2 x level hit points, correct? Or can his rage continue while he has less than 1 hit points?

08-06-05, 07:09 PM Rage ends till you get Calm Emotions cast on you (I think), till duration runs out (I know), and when the encounter ends.

Logically it should also stop when you die lol.

But no rule stating unconsciousness ends Rage.

You could have -9 hps and still be raging. (-9 after including additional hps from rage)

this is my thought that it would end once you become unconsuccess so the hp you gained will go away

i think that inorder to rage you have to able to fell and transfore your anger into power so when you are nocked out i beleive it would end

but i would say this a ruleing that the dm should make

08-06-05, 07:59 PM Yes, it is always the DMs call to use House Rules. But the RAW says it doesn't end when you are unconscious.

Rage says nothing about turning anger into power, sounds like flavor text you are adding.

Keep in mind at the fifth level and above that would mean any barbarian reduced to -1 or below and rendered unconcense (i.e. lacking the Diehard feat) would automatically die.
