(2.5x for Dwarves with Stoneblood Vigor.)  1x the bonus from getting hit in combat, and 1x from hitting with an Invigorating power.Against a single foe, or against melee-only foes with no ranged support, it could get very grindy since the THPs translate to DR averaging around 1.5 to 2x the Rager's Con bonus vs. every attack.  (Melee minions become darn near useless in this scenario, too.)  In 4e, these sorts of combats are the exception, rather than the norm.  Ragers can fall to concentrated archer fire just as easily as any other class can, in the end. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If you track "pools" separately like Sunglare suggests, stack where you shouldn't stack, or forget about the ranged/area exclusions...  Well, you can easily go into Insanity Land. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />-O</blockquote>
