[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5733362, member: 35909"] Mmmm...chalky paste...sounds yummy. I guess that would do the trick, though the skill penalty is pretty hefty. HW is a 3 level dip for rage hopping, you get Terrain Dominance (desert) at 3. So ECL 9, exact same level Lame Oracle 1 would kick in (which makes HW the inferior path, IMO). In 3E at least, a Su is a standard action unless said otherwise. So I'm pretty sure Restorative Touch is a standard. Still a good domain power. Other domains: Tactics (War) subdomain lets you or an ally roll twice for initiative and take the higher roll 3 + wis times per day.... I dunno, Travel's pretty hard to top. Anyway...Allnight herbs, Invigorate potions, and yeah I guess even Roused Anger are all ways to hop at low levels. But like you said, it's going to take a few levels to get a bunch of solid 1/rage powers anyway. And while Cleric 1 or Bard 1 and Martial Artist Monk 5 and probably some other things will facillitate rage hopping...ultimately they're all inferior to just dipping Oracle at 9... I'd just go barb 8, pick up some potions and herbs along the way whenever you can and horde them (how long can the herb last before going bad?), and just wait for the oracle dip. Much better plan in the long run. And if you're not playing past the early levels, even in the short run...there aren't many good low level 1/rage powers anyway, I'd probably just not bother with rage hopping in that sort of game.
