@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Can you be wearing heavy armor and still benefit from the Barbarian totem benefits?

A barbarian in heavy armor can benefit from a totem feature if the feature doesn't prohibit such armor or doesn't rely on Rage. #DnD https://t.co/JOz9wfEkAR

@JeremyECrawford @leonegron037 @mikemearls does that mean bear, eagle and wolf can't be used with heavy, though only eagle specifies it?

The 3rd-level totem features rely on Rage and therefore don't work with heavy armor. The 6th-level features don't rely on Rage. #DnD https://t.co/xu1sCeAGD3

@JeremyECrawford Seems like you can rage in armor with no effect as written on PHB 48, so I thought bear would work. Am I reading it wrong?

Rage. RAW: you can activate it in heavy armor and get nothing from the Rage feature. RAI: Rage and heavy armor don't mix. #DnD https://t.co/4GmHuwuxKl
