It felt pretty dumb to contradict him and let him keep it, since he knew the rules well enough, but also lame to undermine what everyone thought was a smart use of rage (everyone assumed he be taking half damage, including me). It's also not clear that he would have acted that way had he remembered his rage was gone.It's a good example of the rules getting in the way of the story, IMO, especially since my designer brain knows that the limit on rage's duration is not a big balancing factor. It would be cleaner to just cap it at 5 minutes or something.</blockquote>
