Ragin Vitality question

[hotsauceman]

Ok, so im confused. This says I can continue raging after I fall onconcious. Does that mean Im still standing and fighting?
Like lets say I get hit by an attack that gives me -2 hitpoints and raging, Am I still attacking?

[Mystic Lemur]

No, you are simply angrily unconscious. This keeps high level barbarians from dying outright when they fall unconscious.

Edit to add example:

If Angry Bob is 10th level he normally gets 20 extra hp when he rages. When he goes unconscious, he loses those 20hp. So a hit that takes him to -1 really takes him to -21 and is compared to his (non-raging) Constitution to see if he is dead-dead. With Raging Vitality, he gains 30hp when he rages, and the hit that takes him to -1 doesn't cause him to drop out of rage (and die). His negative hit points are compared against his (raging) Constitution, so he stays alive as long as he is healed before he runs out of rounds of rage.

So Im still expending rouds of rage, But dont die? Im confused, what is the benifit?

[Mystic Lemur]

See my edit. Short answer, you keep spending rounds of rage so that you don't die. Rather die? It's still a good feat simply because of the increased Con while raging.

[hotsauceman]

Ohhh, I get it.

deathless frenzy is what you need

[Sowde Da'aro]

renewed vigor and regenerative vigor might also help

[Mystic Lemur]

Or a dip into Unbreakable Fighter for Endurance and Diehard. And those work even when not raging.
