How and when do you use it?
I find myself never using it when Minsc is in my party.
(1) You can't control him. So if he is wounded and a tactical retreat is necessary, he won't budge.
(2) He turns on the party! "Hey there Minsc. Hold still while I heal y-"
(3) He can't use potions while raged. Which, again, leads to unfortunate deaths.
I just find that a weak rage ability, with benefits that can be gained by abundant potions, and which has character killing downsides (not just meaning him!) leaves it to be almost* worthless.
So, what am I missing? Anyone here able to sell me on his ability?
* I say almost because I have used it in lieu of a healing potion before, thus giving him the HPs needed to not die.
