Barbarian Rage and Unconsciousness?

[Aluvial]

I don't really see any reason to rule0 barbarians rage just because it can kill them if they aren't carefull. Raging doesn't mean you are mindless. Think of a barbarian's rage as a shock to the system in a way. It is just a pump of adrenalyne and endorphines being pushed out through your body. You become hardier and more tolerent towards pain. (this is represented by the increase of constitution) You become stronger. (the increase of str). You even become fatigued after the rage ends which is the stress your body has gone through. If you have ever broken a bone or been badly hurt in some physical way you will know what I'm talking about. I was thrown over the handlebars of my mountain bike one day and flew, yes flew, shoulder first into a parked car. I picked myself up, looked at the dent in the car, laughed, got back on my bike and as soon as I stood up on my pedals to continue on my way I noticed my humorous was broke. Didn't feel a thing. Atleast not until the doctor had to set it, piece of my bone was sideways in my arm. Anyways, off on a tangent there, I personally can't see any reason why the barbarian's rage would have to be rule0 for any reason.

You are right of course... I'd like to see the above mentioned feat.... Feats fix everything if you let them...

I think remain conscious is in MotW. All it does is let you take your action if you are at 0 to -9 hp and not pass out from taking that action. I'm pretty sure that is all that it does. You still take the 1hp of damage and you still die at -10hp but I think you just remain conscious as the name of the feat suggests. Now I can be wrong cuz I don't have my books in front of me but that's what I remember it doing.

A barbarian's rage doesn't end when he falls unconcious. It only end's at the end of the duration or when the barbarian chooses to end it. Nowhere does it say when the barbarian falls unconcious his rage ends. I believe one of the original designers of DnD mentioned that the barbarian continues to rage in his dreams.
