This infact works to his deteriment. Before raging he was less likely to get hit (and a miss would give him no damage). Now, while raging, he is more likely to get hit, and will take same amount of damage as before (the +2 soak damage will be discarded by the -2 AC when you take the difference between the attack and the defence rolls).  Not to mention, that you were comparing a 1st level wizard to a 6th level barbarian (with a higher Con). Since the stat pool that is given is the same for all players, I would imaging that for both the barbarian and the wizard the second and third highest stats would be given to Dex & Con.   Also, melee classes should be given more Soak points in order for them to survive as they will constantly be the front liners. It makes sense that these classes should toughen up a little during their careers. The ideas I brought did not overly change them. The entire range would be from -2 Soak points for a 1st level 4HD class to +5 soak points for a 6th level 12HD class.</blockquote>
