[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5557675, member: 6674931"] Flying into a rage entails a reaction in respect to some sort of stimuli. The barbarian sees the enemy, "rages" and attacks. The enemy (and everything related to the enemy) is the stimuli. Once one falls unconscious, the stimuli ceases to exist. People that wake up from being unconscious not only do they not know where they actually are!!... but they also do not remember the reasons they lost consciousness in the first place!!!... Incidents related to their "falling unconscious" are, if not completely lost, surrounded by such thick a fog in their minds, that there is no way for the above-mentioned stimuli to survive. It's a brain's defense mechanism so as to protect us from further harm. what i'm saying is that while i see how the adrenaline can keep him alive, there is no reason he should be enraged when he recovers (in case he has rounds left) My previous post was poorly formatted, i admit. My comments were meant for what happens once he regains consciousness, not for falling unconscious. Having said that...and after giving it some though...i'd probably rule that waking from unconsciousness ends the rage... i prefer it that way for it puts the barbarian in less a danger...while i also avoid the image of someone waking up enraged/pissed-off (which is kinda funny if you think of it)... I'd still keep the [COLOR="Olive"]"A barbarian may prematurely end his rage"[/COLOR] for i can see how "self control", etc, etc can do that, but once he she shuts down once... its over... no switching on again in the same encounter (that's how the rule has it anyway..)
