Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kinematics" data-source="post: 9008408" data-attributes="member: 6932123">Thoughts on interactions between the new Rage rules and other subclasses.With the new duration of Rage, I thought it was a nice benefit for the level 14 Eagle Totem feature, which gives you a flying speed while you're raging.  Only one minute of flight was always disappointingly short, but ten minutes which can be out of combat (bonus action sustain) means it's nicely useful for other challenges.On the other hand, there's the 3rd level Eagle Totem feature, which allows you to dash as a bonus action.  The problem is that if you really need that extra speed, you're likely not attacking, which means the only way to sustain Rage is to use a bonus action. Conflict of interest. You can't use the dash and rage at the same time, and if you lose the rage, you lose the bonus action dash as well.Ancestral Guardian's 6th level Spirit Shield uses a reaction, and doesn't explicitly require combat. You could use it to reduce damage taken by the party if they were, for example, passing through an area that caused damage. Just have them go through one at a time to make sure you could keep using your reaction for it.Storm Herald's Storm Aura (3rd level) requires using a bonus action to activate, which conflicts with maintaining Rage if you can't attack.  Well, the aura is 10' around you, so the damage effects are probably going to happen at the same time you're attacking, however the effects themselves can't maintain the Rage since you don't make an attack roll or force enemies to make a save when you use the effect.  Also, the Tundra effect gives temp HP, which you'd want to use when around your allies, and thus potentially limited in usability.Path of the Zealot: Fanatical Focus's ability to reroll failed saving throws will continue to be useful when used in non-combat challenges.Zealous Presence requires a bonus action, but should likely be used in the middle of combat, so you should be able to attack during that turn as well. Unlikely to clash.</blockquote>
