If you rage and frenzy at the same time after the end of both you become exhausted meaning you have to rest for 8 hours? Isn’t this a drawback for a FB?

12-17-04, 03:43 AM Not really, from memory, you are only exhausted until the end of the encounter. A short rest later and your char should be as good as new.

What I meant is that exhaustion from raging overwrites the rules for normal exhaustion as depicted in DMG (which takes 8 hours to recover from), with the former lasting only until the end of said encounter. Your question was once brought up in a previous issue of dragon, and has already been clarified.
Their rationale being that the two forms of exhaustion stemmed from two different causes and were thus subject to two differing methods of resolution.
Sounds weird, but wizards motto is that if printed material contradicts existing rules, follow printed material as is. At least that's how it worked for the Magic CCG.
