Help me not lose a friend 'cause Animal Rage


Advice

Horizon Hunters

Hello ladies and gentlemen today I am here not to cause a stir, as we all know this feat for some people is very controversial and has already broken up friendships along the way. This time I'm just here to ask the opnion on how I should handle it, as I'm DM at a table this time and one of the players is a barbarian who might choose this feat or not in the future and I want to be prepared when the day comes.

Here's how I handle it.

- Low-light vision and imprecise scent 30 feet.
- You also gain specific abilities based on the type of animal you choose: (For example: breathe underwater but not in air.)
- For purposes of dispel magic and similar effects, treat Animal Rage as a third-level Animal Form Spell.
- I usually consider the animal's speed, but I'm not really sure if it's a statistic or an ability.
- Finally, there's something I never thought about, but maybe every time the barbarian enters Animal Rage Form he renews his Tamporary HP received by Rage Action?

Well this is how I deal with this feat, do you think this is the best way to read Animal Rage or did I miss something? I don't want to lose a friends because of this feat hahaha.

I'm not sure how to run this feat, but if a person would stop being your friend over something as petty as how you adjudicate an RPG feat they aren't a friend worth having.

The ability block in the spell description refers to the Speed category as an ability, not a statistic, so it would replace whatever speed he had listed.

But really, he should not end a friendship over how Paizo designed the feat. That's just plain petty.

If this is a legitimate concern you have, there is no ruling that will fix whatever is going on. This is a human problem and that means actually talking to one another.

If this is just some bait for rules advice, just decide whatever way makes you and yours happiest.
