From reading several posts I get the idea there is a way to have unlimited rage as a barbarian. How is this done?

The current theory is to have Destroyer's Blessing, and to continually Sunder something with a Merciful weapon (items are immune to nonlethal damage, so the item won't actually break, but the Sunder will (theoretically) still work, since you just need to succeed at the Sunder check). More than a little broken, and depends on getting your GM to agree to a specific interpretation of the rules.
I warn you, attempting this strategy may just result in your GM straight up rocks falling you into a new character.

Or just get a 20 con, belt to boost your con, and take the extra rage feat every 2 levels. But you'll probably want more other feats than that.
Really, I don't see the limited rounds of rage as a big deal. My barbarian only just hit level 4, doesn't have extra rage, and he's only run out of rage rounds once. It's just a matter of picking your battles to rage. By level 10, I'm sure he'll be raging in almost every fight, and I doubt it'll be an issue, even without extra rage.
You could just have some gold/silver/copper pieces and continually sunder them. There's not really a negative to having broken coins, and if you do it enough times to silver, you can start a profitable spell component business.
Or have the party casty s pull spell components out in each hand am's sunder them. You'd be recharging between combats, but I doubt you'd run out in one fight anyways.

I view such munchkinist manipulation of rules mechanics very dimly.
For me the merciful quality of a blade only applies when wielded against living creatures.
Oh, absolutely. This is an example of the worst sort or rules manipulation.
As an aside, per the description of Sunder, it can only be attempted against an opponent, which kinda puts the kibosh on the whole deal. Unless you can get your opponent to stand still with enough items for you to recharge however far you want.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
There is a better way than merciful item sundering.
1. Be a Drunken Brute barbarian (APG archetype). Every round you drink an alcoholic beverage, you can rage without spending a round of rage.
2. Get the Flask of Infinite Sake (I believe that's the name), an item that can be found in one of the Jade Regent books (I'll go check to see which one).
3. Muzzle yourself with the Flask of Infinite Sake.
4. Drink constantly. (Perhaps combine with a Ring of Sustenance to obviate the need for breathing and eating.)
5. Infinite rounds of rage.

I'm certain that many DMs will rule that you die of accute alcohol poisoning within one week of trying this, so you'll need a perepet of proof against poison or something similar. i suspect that a similar tactic could be used as a drunken master.
