This is my off the cuff solution that I would love people to dissect. Rage Strike – Turn it into the opposite of the clerics healing word. Minor action use a surge deal damage equal to surge +2d6. (Increase to 3d6 and 5d6 as per Rogue) Only usable when in a rage useable twice an encounter. Only useable once per round. Not usable same turn as Daily??? (unsure) This would mean that the Barbarian can’t do bonus damage as often makes him think twice about doing due to his loss of surges – also doesn’t encourage Rage Nova’s. He will do less bonus damage round by round but when he does do it, it will be impressive. The median damage of the surge is pretty much on a par with a d12 weapon barbarian – minus the striker bonus damage. This I think would solve the multiclass problem – although I was thinking that it might be useful to restrict barbarian powers to two handed attacks only. This would help prevent AC busting Barbarians by restricting shields a little. My third thought was regarding Dailies. Why don’t the effects stack and would it be completely unbalancing if they did? This frees the Barbarian from only optimally being able to use one Rage per encounter but isn’t a no brainer thus as with all classes He can go Nova or not – and would be a nice way of showing him getting even more enraged if he does happen to use a couple in a single combat. If the effects would require a slight nerf because of this then surely while it is being worked on it could.  While I am sure that there are a number of holes in my idea – On the surface it would look to have some merit. Less often with the extra damage but it’ll hurt when it is used and at a cost.</blockquote>
