[QUOTE="JEB, post: 6629080, member: 10148"] Well, I get what the two of you are saying, and I do like the sound of the revised version. However, that might actually be weaker than it should be. See, I was basing my original Resistant Rage on the Totem Warrior Barbarian, which gets resistance to all damage but psychic at level 3, and the Abjuration Wizard, which gets resistance and advantage vs. all spells (but all the time) at level 14. I figured a rage-only version of the Abjuration Wizard ability was fair for level 10 (roughly halfway between 3 and 14). So, on further thought, it could be fair to rewrite your version as follows: [i]Resistant Rage[/i] [i]Starting at 10th level, your fury ignites your will and steels your spirit against the the tools of spell casters and creatures of the supernatural. While raging you have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saves. Additionally, while raging you become resistant to all damage.[/i] That sounds pretty crazy strong, I know, but it isn't so ridiculous once you consider the Totem Warrior. Admittedly, however, that doesn't quite have the theme I think you were going for, where you choose between natural and supernatural resistance (which is cool). However, all that aside, I have to say that I still prefer the narrower focus of my previous version. I want a Barbarian who is dedicated to smashing evil sorcerers and other spellcasting creatures, and I'm OK with them not being so good at other things. But that's just my personal preference, so if you (and Ezel, and anyone else) want to take what I started and modify it into something more flavorful and general-use, you definitely have my blessing! I like this rename, though, so I may do something with that. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
