Why did you choose that type of rage?
Sorry, could not create poll in Fighters/Barbarians forum.

The wind rage fits my barbarian's perspective of being quick to getting hits in and she associates it with the tyger spirit she follows.

Fire Rage. I didn't really have much choice in the beginning, the potions for the fire rage were the only rage path items I could find. by the time I found any other type of rage item I had so much invested it would have made no sense to change then.

Blood rage. It seemed like the obvious choice for a wizard/barbarian already heavily specialized in necromancy.

Earth!

Because it fits perfectly for my dwarf's backstory. His clan is big on earth stuff (one of the clan colors is brown because of it)

Jack has the wind spirit... it was the only one that came in a powder form (Jack likes a little bump now and again), and the reckless nature of it seemed to fit well. Also, it's the least flashy of the options and Jack's more Big Trouble in Little China than Conan.

I'd considered the rage specializations and I like air a lot. Haven't, actually made the barbarian yet, so wasn't sure how to vote.

I kept Owen as a standard rager, mostly because he had transitioned into fighter and WM, and the elemental rages seemed to not fit that.

Zander became a Flamedancer because he was introduced to it by Gurkz. Also, it seemed to be the most aggressive one from a damage perspective.

Earth.

Janus found some neat bottles in the Hobgoblin cave that made him feel REALLY GOOD! The "juice" was vitally important for quite some time until someone explained to him that he didn't need it any more. He hasn't looked for bottles again. Instead he's into making thousands of arrowheads.... and mining gems. Gems and arrowheads. Yup.

What were we talking about?

A couple of questions here:

Blood (Vial of Anointed Blood): is the 3x category vampiric regen on their equipped weapon for each successful hit (usually 3 to 4 times per round)? Also, does it work on undead critters?

"Rage can clear some negative physical status effects, such as Stat Drain" - Still true with barb specializations?

For those specializations that reduce a stat (con, dex - minus 12 at category 6!!), if you hit zero is your character incapacitated, per usual?

Yes, it works on every attack, and yes it does work on undead.
