I have a question regarding the Barbarian's rage ability and the number of rounds it lasts. Does does a critical hit from a weapon with a multiplier of x3 or x4 affect the duration of the rage?
I ask because of a third party feat I encountered that references those multipliers no longer shortening one's rage. (It's from the Bullet Point series. The Barbarian Feats one to be precise)
I looked at the core book and there was no mention of it, but I was wondering if it was errata of some sort?
No, normally crits have nothing to do with rage rounds.
Half-orcs do get a feat called Gore fiend, which gives 1 round of rage back if you crit or your are crited upon. But that would actually benefit more from the 18-20/x2 weapons than from the x3 or x4.
Anyway, besides that, I do not know of any other way to get rage rounds back through crits. If there are, then it certainly is not a standard feature of rage, and comes from specific feats/class abilities of some archetype/item/etc.
Edit: Whoops, you talked about decreasing? No, I do not know of anything that would cause that. I mean, it would be a massive nerf to barbarians otherwise.
I'm not aware of any RAW that causes your rage rounds to decrease based on criticals. Is it possibly a new mechanic introduced to go along with the third-party feat is what it's referencing? I don't have that series so I can't check.

The Bullet Point .pdfs are one dollar pdfs that generally have five or six options on them, feats and such, that can be used to expand on magic spells and the like.
Upon further reading I figured out what the feat does and it's just worded badly. On a round where you score a critical hit with one of those weapons, that round of rage isn't expended.
So yeah. feel free to lock or ignore this one now.
