Half damage from everything (except the relatively rare psychic) pretty much means barbarians are always taking half damage. That's huge. I ran a game with two barbarian characters, one beserker, one bear totem. The former would actually get worried when faced with fire elementals and the like. The latter? He shrugged and waded in. My fix would be to remove the bear totem, so barbarians are still very durable when facing normal foes, but should be concerned about the exotic. Agreed. One of my fixes was to make a judgment call in certain situations. The bad guy ran into another room and locked the door behind him? The barbarian keeps his rage as he tries to batter down the door. The bad guy runs away and taunts the party. The barbarian keeps his rage as he pursues the guy. My solution is a bit too informal, however, so I'd like to see a simple rule that allows a barbarian to keep rage appropriately. Any suggestions?</blockquote>
