[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7485942, member: 6796661"] I think that the more likely scenario would be that the party members slap the barbarian into action. I could see many DMs not allowing this, but I would. I would also allow the Barbarian to hit himself to keep a rage going.He'll have to take unarmed attack damage on himself, but that may be worth it in some situations. Also, I'd make him use frenzy, even though as this would be an attack and a non-attack action. So, it would be two actions and against the RAW, but I would allow it in my home game. For AL, or to stick to RAW, I think you would need another character to deal the damage. Cornyn the Barbarian: I go into a rage and pull a rock of the cleric. (makes Athletics check with advantage) DM: with heroic effort you lift the boulder off the cleric. The relief of seeing the cleric alive, concsious, and freed from the boulder causes your rage to begin to wane. Mickey the Cleric: There are others trapped! [unarmed attack on the barbarian] GET BACK OUT THERE AND SAVE THE OTHERS! [/QUOTE]
