[RPG] Can a Level 20 Barbarian Elf rage when in his Trance

barbariandnd-5eelfrage

At level 20, a Barbarian has an unlimited number of rages per long rest, meaning he can rage non-stop until he wants to sleep.

Elves can Trance instead of sleeping.

Can an elf barbarian continue his rage even when in his Transe (reactivating it every minute with a bonus action), essentially raging 24/7?

Best Answer

No the Barbarian cannot Rage through a Trance, regardless of whether Trance would end your Rage or Not

Persistent Rage:

Beginning at 15th level, your rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.

Note that Rage still has a defined end condition.

Rage:

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

Since it seems unreasonable to continue using bonus actions every minute to keep raging while in a Trance, it wouldn't be possible to continue raging and trance at the same time.
