Brutal Rage (Game Mechanic Idea)

Here's one for you DM's & Players that want to make your rage, really feel like a RAGE!

Raging, the barbarians favorite feature. However, most of time I have seen it used, it's usually just someone saying I'll active/use rage, & then that's the end of it. But should it really be that simple (at least flavor text wise), after all it is your character getting so unbelievable pissed that you gain a resistances & extra strength.

When you rage, you wanna feel it, or at least have it be described upon. This gameplay mechanic basically adds flavor text for when you get medieval on all those annoying little enemies that decided to do whatever they did to piss you off, & your going to want them to be ANNIHALATED when you get your hands on them. With nothing else to say, let's get to the brutalization.
