I have not seen this addressed, apologies if it has been.
When a Raging Barbarian is losing a fight and drops to zero or lower hit points the Rage ends, the Barbarian loses the hit points gained from the Con increase, and if the Barbarian happens to be 5th level or higher dies immediately(-10 or lower hit points).
This class ability makes "fighting to the last" a very poor tactic for the Barbarian. I am of the opinion that a Raging Barbarian should always "fight to the last", and hopefully have an ally around to bandage him up.
I am hoping the developers can address this occurence in some way, mostly I beleive the effect on how players run thier Barbarians is very undesireable, penalizing them for role-playing the Rage state of mind.
