Rage Prophet question

[Makarion]

How would the level 10 ability of a Rage Prophet ("Greater Rage") work for a barbarian of the Urban Barbarian archetype?

Yes

Controlled Rage:

When an urban barbarian rages, instead of making a normal rage she may apply a +4 morale bonus to her Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. This bonus increases to +6 when she gains greater rage and +8 when she gains mighty rage. She may apply the full bonus to one ability score or may split the bonus between several scores in increments of +2. When using a controlled rage, an urban barbarian gains no bonus on Will saves, takes no penalties to AC, and can still use Intelligence-, Dexterity-, and Charisma-based skills. This ability otherwise follows the normal rules for rage.

The problem is that the Rage Prophet ability gives a +6 to BOTH Strength and Constitution, whereas the Urban Barbarian ability gives points they can divide over Str, Dex and Con. I doubt that the intent is that you "divide" it Str +0, Dex +6, Con +0 and then claim your free Str/Con +6 from Rage Prophet...

Makarion, PartyRico was kind enough to give the relevant text. Your arch-type doesn't have Rage, you have Controlled Rage. When you get Greater Rage you receive the bonuses of a Greater CONTROLLED Rage. As PartyRico stated.

Plus six to any stat or divided as you please in increments of two.

Ok. So there is no interaction at all. Pity - probably means that an Urban Barbarian / Oracle doesn't benefit enough beyond level 4 Rage Prophet. But eh, not everything *needs* to combine perfectly, all the time, for all concepts.
