Wild rager: No staggered or unconscious?

[KingofB]

Uncontrolled Rage (Ex): A wild rager's rage functions as normal, except that when she reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points, she must attempt a Will save (DC 10 + the barbarian's level + the barbarian's Charisma modifier) or become confused. For the remainder of her current turn, she attacks the nearest creature other than herself. On the following round, refer to the confusion spell to determine her actions. At the end of this round, and each round thereafter, she can attempt a new saving throw to end the confusion effect. The rounds during which she is confused do not count against the rounds she has spent raging that day, but she cannot end her rage voluntarily, nor can she use rage powers while confused.

That is the description of the Uncontrolled Rage of the Wild Rager. It doesn't specify, but I am assuming that means that a Wild Rager is NOT knocked unconscious or even staggered when it goes below 0, but instead, does that. Correct?

The ability is when she reduces a creature to 0 or fewer HP, not when she herself is at 0 or fewer HP.

Why would a Wild Rager not go unconscious at 0 or negative HP?

It never states that they stay up fighting so they would go down when reduced to 0 or fewer HP.

And the ability to laugh with us means you're still having fun :)

New question, relating to this. Does Wild Rager only apply when you are raging, or ANY time you reduce something to 0? I can read it either way, but I lean towards it functioning almost like a rage power..

I'd say rage only but I'm a sucker for a barbarian :)

If you are talking about the Uncontrolled Rage ability you posted above it clearly states that it is a side effect of the rage ability. I would think it would have no effect while the barbarian was not raging.
