Rage

This page is for the Barbarian action. For the Beast Master companion action see  Rage (Boar).

Rage is a Barbarian bonus action and class feature. Enter a Rage to gain resistance against physical damage, deal extra melee and thrown damage, and Advantage on Strength checks and Saving throws. Wearing heavy armour triggers the  Rage Impeded condition, removing most benefits of Rage.

Notes

• Attacks made against non-hostile (but not allied) creatures count towards maintaining the effect.
• Rage cannot be used while being  Calmed.
• In a departure from D&D 5e rules, Rage bonus damage can apply to melee weapons not using Strength (e.g. finesse weapons using Dexterity). This is not true of the Wildheart Barbarian variants of Rage.
• It is not stated in the in-game tooltip, but the Rage bonus damage also applies to unarmed strikes.
