Feral Instinct ends a barbarian's surprise only if the barbarian rages on their turn. Before then, that barbarian is surprised. #DnD https://t.co/hD5Pw1Q5Jm

I guess I’m confused on the whole mechanic now. If surprise gives the Assassin a “free” attack, how can the Barbarian rage before it?The barbarian can't rage when it's not the barbarian's turn.

So this only really applies during regular combat, and not say, an ambush?All combat follows the combat rules, no matter how the fight started.
