I have a question about rages that came up in the game last night.

We had a barbarian who took the Mountainheart talent found here: https://pelgranepress.com/site/?p=14412 It says he can end his rage to take no damage from an attack. Then, because the escalation die was over 4 on turn 2 due to our chaos mage being a chaos mage, he started another rage for free and said he can do this every turn.

We let it happen, because there was nothing saying it couldn't. However, I don't know how raging, then calming down, then raging again would actually work. It seems that they didn't take that into account when they made the talent, but the raging for free mechanic felt like it was being abused there.

Thoughts?

We managed to compromise and say he could use Mountainheart multiple times a battle, but couldn't restart his rage with the free rage the turn afterwards, he has to wait a round. He can still use his daily to start the next turn, but if he ends that, then he has to wait. Now there's a tough decision about whether or not he trades offense for defense. It's still stupidly powerful, but not profoundly stupid now.

Starting a 13th age campaign with a couple newbies and a veteran this weekend.

Are there any neat oneshots to use or should I do my normal "You arrive in a town and are accosted by plothooks" style?

One of the players is blind, and he wanted to play a dragon and a ninja, so I made him a Dragonborn Barbarian with 5 points in the background "Is a ninja" and am flavouring his weapon attacks as a breath weapon. I figured Barbarian has the least minutiae to keep track of so being blind shouldn't hinder him too much.

I bought the Bundle of Holding and now got into the Playtest.

Time to rediscover this game!
