Rage Tips & Notes
- Missing your attacks will not end rage early. What's important is the attempt to attack a hostile, or that you received hits or damage.

While you can’t cast spells normally while raging, it seems Reaction spells still work.
I multiclasses Karlach with warlock, and was able to use Hellish Rebuke while raging.

Thinking about playing a barbarian at some point just because the roar on this sounds super badass

Makes no logical sense at all why this wouldn't work with unarmed attacks. But I guess it's a balance thing.

Hmm weird interaction but my Berserker Karlach only gets +2 damage from Frenzy at level 9. Id guess the additional 1 damage doesn't work for frenzy?

Does the Rage damage bonus (that becomes +3 at level 9) scale with character level or Barbarian level?

I'm guessing bonus effects like that hammer that does damage on the landing area when you jump doesn't count for keeping rage up

Does rage damage apply to finess weapons? Nothing here says it wouldn't. Thinking I'll try a barb/thief with dual rapiers.

I wish they would just give the player accurate information, but if they are going to be vague they could at least be consistent about it. 'Makes you stronger' is misleading but the description for Frenzy which does the same thing actually tells you that it gives you advantage on strength checks? Why tho.
Melee weapons, but not unarmed attacks? How great would it be in you could get the rage damage bonus with flurry of blows?

Says can't cast spells in rage. Does this include four element monk disciplines?

Does rage stay if you take 0 damage?
Like someone attacks and hit you for 1, but damage is reduced by flat 1. resulting in 0

Are cantrips considered spells or can a barbarian in rage cast cantrips?
