I think the -2 to AC is punishing enough, anyway, and usually means you lose a lot more extra HP than you gain from Raging.I've house-ruled it a while ago for my games so that Rage stays as is, except it grants a DR/- slowly increasing with level instead of the +4 Con.Finally, my favorite Barbarian build has to be a Dwarven one - very tough vs. spells, and can wear medium armor and still benefit fully from fast movement.</blockquote>
