Raging wizard?

[Peter Kies]

I'm looking at a build taking a 1-level dip in barbarian (savage technologist) and a wizard with air elemental school.

The initial thought was to get the fast movement and extra HP and to not suffer AC penalties if the character runs out of spells and has to rage.

But can the supernatural ability Lightning Flash be used while raging?

I'm imagining the character charging into the nearest crowd of baddies and explosively discharging electricity all around.

If this can't be done, I'm a bit at a loss to come up with the build. I had not really planned for any great skill with a weapon - thinking of something more like Marvel's Storm, unleashing wind and electricity when she loses her temper.

I don't see the skald with a special class ability that says he needs it to cast spells and rage so I guess this is legit.

I found the answer after searching some other posts - it's in the combat section of the PRD:

combat wrote:

Supernatural Abilities (Su): Using a supernatural ability is usually a standard action (unless defined otherwise by the ability's description). Its use cannot be disrupted, does not require concentration, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

and for rage:

barbarian class wrote:

While in rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.

So the supernatural ability doesn't require concentration and it's not a skill. As long as the GM rules that it doesn't require patience (can't see that this one would) - I should be good to go.

Looks fine to me. Have fun!

Could do a Suli wind shaman/barbarian. Suli's elemental strike applies to held weapons. Even if you don't have suli, wind shamans can touch for elec damage and later give their weapons Shocking and there are alot of wind/elec based hexes.
