Bloodrager Barbarian multiclass. How does my Rage work now?

[Ralf]

Do my rage powers from Barbarian work during my blood rage? I currently have 8 rounds of blood rage and 22 rounds of rage. If I run out of rage rounds can I switch to blood rage without dropping into fatigue? I dropped into bloodrager to get the ability to use wands.

1.) Bloodrage counts as rage, so barbarian rage powers would work during it.

2.) If you start bloodrage while raging and then end the rage, you would remain in bloodrage, but have the fatigued condition. So you would have to make the switch while you had a least one round of rage remaining, otherwise you drop out before you can activate bloodrage.

Are you sure blood rage counts as barbarian rage for rage powers? Where did you find this?

Bloodrager can not multiclass with Barbarian. None of the Hybrid classes in the advanced class guide can take levels in any of their parent classes. So bloodrager/barbarian is not a possible combination...

They don't stack, and they also don't count as the same thing except for fulfilling feat prerequisites, being effected by feats, and being effected by spells and magic items.

A barbarian's rage powers aren't any of those, so you aren't able to use them while in a bloodrage.

That restriction was removed in the final published product.

But Mergy has the right of it, Bloodrage only counts the same as rage for limited purposes and rage powers aren't on that list.

Switching from rage to bloodrage or vice-versa involves ending the first with all the attendant penalties.

It can't be done, not without a house rule
In which case ask your dm

If you want you might be interested in the Primalist Archetype for Bloodragers:

Primalist wrote:

Primal Choices: At 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter, a primalist can choose to take either his bloodline power or two barbarian rage powers. If the primalist chooses rage powers, those rage powers can be used in conjunction with his bloodrage, and his bloodrager level acts as his barbarian level when determining the effect of those bloodrage powers and any prerequisites. Any other prerequisites for a rage power must be met before a primalist can choose it. This ability does not count as the rage power class feature for determining feat prerequisites and other requirements. This ability alters the bloodline class feature.

Thanks for clearing that up, I didn't notice that so far. I stand corrected.

There is a warning at the start of the book that multiclassing with parent classes may lead to redundant abilities. I would not recommend bloodrager/barbarian.
