I'm not sure if this topic came up before, but I have looked around and I couldn't get a clear answer. If a character has more than 2 arms able to wear a ring, are they allowed that many rings to wear? Or can a player only ever wear 2 rings regardless, even if you are a race like the kasatha?

Hello everyone. I just had a recent question when looking through the barbarian rage powers. The powers in question are as follows:

Undead Blood, Greater: While raging, the barbarian gains cold resistance 10, as well as DR 10/- against non lethal damage.

Guarded Life: While raging, if the barbarian is reduced below 0 hit points, 1 hit point of lethal damage per barbarian level is converted to nonlethal damage. If the barbarian is at negative hit points due to lethal damage, she immediately stabilizes.

Guarded Life, Greater: When using the guarded life rage power, 1 additional hit point of lethal damage per barbarian level is converted to nonlethal damage. A barbarian must have the guarded life rage power and be at least 6th level before selecting this rage power.

My question is, would these two (three if you include the upgraded guarded life) abilities work together at the same time? Such as in this example:

Level 10 barbarian is at 9 hp. A low level enemy fires a crossbow, hitting and dealing exactly 10 damage. due to guarded life, the piercing damage would instead become nonlethal damage ( up to 20 points of damage) since it's just enough to push past the 0 health threshold. Due to it being nonlethal damage, it then has to bypass the damage reduction of 10/- for nonlethal damage, nullifying the crossbow bolt damage entirely.

Thanks alot. I already chose the archetype serene barbarian, which trades for a Dex and will based rage instead of Str and Con rage as normal. Serene barbarian also only swaps out the rage abilities only, so which archetype would synergize best with the serene barbarian archetype?

Thanks for the item recommendation, I never really know which route when it comes to items. Likewise for the rage powers, I usually seem to take ones that do not blend well. I will look into rage powers planning and item hunting/crafting.

Bump

Hello everyone. This is the first time I have posted on this forum, but I just wanted everyone's saying. I am cucurrently taking part in a currently lvl 3 campaign, starting from lvl two. My current rolling has been max health (thank you lucky health rolling) with all favored points into health for a total of 45 how at lvl 3, and as stated I have gone with a goblin barbarian. More specifically I went with the serene barbarian, for the 20 Dex I distributed kind of fit the most.

Onwards from here is where I migjt need a bit of help. This far in, I have the weapon finesse feat as well as dervish dance and I am rocking the scimitar at the moment, yet I lose the 2 AC from my shield in the process. At this point I was wondering which direction to go, from rage powers to feats. At a point, I don't know how long leather armor will help me, but I doubt it will last when I bump the Dex up more, so at this point I am stumped in progress from here. Amy suggestions?

If needed, I can post the full Stat layout of the character to help. I didn't know whiwhich totem rage powers to go for, so I focused on grabbing no escape first just to insure targets do not get away.
