I want my rage to end so I don't actually go into the negatives, but just die straight out..."She's not choosing to go unconcious, she's not choosing to die, so why would she choose to have her rage end early at that point?  If the rage isn't stopped by the barbarian (or a spell, that again specifically states it ends rage), by RAW, the rage lasts until the duration runs out.It makes it too risky (and ultimately unheroic), imo, to use rage in any game that has the rage end when the barbarian goes unconcious.  With that ruling (again, imo), the only time to rage is if the party *knows absolutely* they'll be able to slaughter their opponents and the rage will just let them get it done quicker, or the party knows there's no way in hell they're going to win and the rage will let them at least take out 'as many enemies as possible' before they all die.  Anything else is risking the barbarian's life for no real gain.</blockquote>
