Warblade/Barbarian problems

[Krafen]

Is it stated anywhere whether a character can initiate combat maneuvers or use stances while raging? Maneuvers requiring Concentration checks would clearly be out, but what about other maneuvers? The flavor text, at least, of many maneuvers and stances suggest careful thought or concentration is required. Would this not make them unavailable while raging?

Very gray area.

I'd actually suggest dropping CustServ an email on this one.

That is close enough for me, but I also am starting to feel Barbs are little too front loaded and deserve to have rage end when unconcious.

The book actually states that they do not need concentration.

Using manuevers is fine, recovering runs into the concentration and patience downside of rage.
