q'afuu 01-18-04, 02:08 PM	Well, there's the fact that Greater Rage and Mighty Rage give higher bonuses. An 11th level Brb gets more extra HP than an 11th level Brb 1/anything else 10.
Veton 01-18-04, 02:20 PM	Well, think of this. If someone casts Bear's Endurance on you, do you only get bonus hit points from the levels of your highest class?
Dragontooth 01-18-04, 02:54 PM	He gets 2 hp for every level he has because of the Con. Bonus. +4 to Con = +2 Bonus More Con you have the more HP you have. So it works with all your level's not just your Barbarian levels.
q'afuu 01-18-04, 03:44 PM	I think he realizes all that. He just wonders why a full Barbarian's rage isn't more powerful than the rage of a character who's only part barbarian. At least, that's the impression I get from his post.
goku7835 01-18-04, 04:21 PM	you are exactly right, q'afuu
q'afuu 01-18-04, 05:27 PM	Well, like I said, Rage doesn't scale with (barbarian) level until level 11, but after that you get Greater, Tireless and Mighty Rage. You need barbarian levels for those.

fractal 01-18-04, 06:40 PM	Also, higher level Barbarians can rage, and thus receive the bonus hp, more times per day.
