D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] What's the deal with Mighty Rage?

[Mister Mojo]

As has been noted before, Barbarians now receive the Mighty Rage ability at 20th level, rather than needing to select it as an Epic feat at level 21+. Yet in the conversion manual, the only alteration to the Mighty Rage feat is it now requires "Rage 5/day." Any thoughts on this?

 

[the Jester]

I noticed this too, and after some thought I came to the conclusion that it's for multiclassed characters.

 

[Darkness]

Hm. Still handy for other raging classes (and epic characters with only 16-19 barbarian levels); irrelevant for 20th- and higher-level barbarians.

 

[Mister Mojo]

Hrm. I s'pose that makes sense, actually. I shouldn't complain, since it frees up an Epic feat slot for those truly dedicated Barbarians...you know, the Rome-sacking Visigoth variety.

 

[the Jester]

Note that a number of other Epic feats are also class abilities, albeit usually of prestige classes...

"Slave, go see what that racket is outside. My horse and I would like a little peace."

"It's a rampaging half-orc, Caesar. He just whirlwind attacked the Praetorian guard, and is shouting something about a tribute."

You know, as funny as this is, a campaign based around a decaying Roman Empire besieged not by Germanic tribes but by bloodthirsty clans of Orcs and Half-Orcs would be intensely cool.

Faded Glory? Old Ones setting?

So a barbarian that takes the "extra rage" feat from MotW a few times or takes a prc that give extra rages can also gain mighty rage at lvl 10 or so ?

I think you can't take epic feats if you aren't at least 21st level.
