D&D 5E Polymorphed Barbarian

[Arvin Natsuko]

Hello Guys,

Quick question: a raging barbarian who is polymorphed by his party caster is still under the effects of the rage?

Thanks,

Arvin

In my game, yes.

Why wouldn't they be?

Why wouldn't they be?

In the spell description is said that the creature game stats are replaced by the beast States. Since the beast stat box doesn't include any effect of rage, seems like a legit questionar. i just don't know if the barbarian is capable of enjoy thw benneficts of his rage in other forma than his natural one.

Legit question I'd say yes, because it's more fun. Also you keep your mental stats, maybe it's merely a state of mind.

No, polymorph will also replace your mental stats. You might be thinking of the druid's wildshape ability.

Yeah that's what it was. Well, I still think it's more fun to keep the rage going. Though honestly it's pretty shakey IC. Besides perhaps saying it was a spritual trance.

I'd rule rule the rage persists, but at the end of the barbarians turn it would end. Why?
Polymorph replaces the barbarians character sheet, the barbarian makes attacks nor gets attacked. It is the "creature that deals or receives the damage, thus the rage ends.
This Does mean that the rage of a very high level barbarian would inderdaad persist.

Yes.

Same as you would still be under the effects of haste, poison, fear, invisibility, bless, or any other effect.
