Rage

[slaughterj]

I notice that Rage gives +4 STR (i.e., +2 damage) but -2 Defense. So therefore does it balance out for power cap purposes like Power Attack, or does it need to be figured in somehow? What about for higher levels of Rage?

Technically, since there's no trade-off of Defense for damage, Rage is affected normally by the power level limits. However, it would be a fair house rule (IMHO) to declare the first rank of it sufficiently balanced not to count, if you like.
