Rage used to cost 30k for the longest time. Changing it to 50k wasn't that good of an idea imho. The "sweaty tryhards" would grind it very fast anyway, while more casual players are blocked from even attempting to form a Hobo Militia to try and defend themselves.
I personally would change Rage cost to be as low as 10k and move the 40k cost to skills like Theft and Vandalism. Some concussion is actually a small nuisance compared to getting stripped naked, your study screen emptied, and your hovel razed to the ground.
One possibility with how the skills would need to be unlocked in order: Trespassing 10k, Rage 10k, Theft 100k, Vandalism 100k
(Currently Rage is a completely separate branch, Trespassing is 25k while Theft/Vandalism are both 50k)
(Would have balance implications for however the "Ragehide" thing is going to work - imho there should not be permanent or at least ever-present debuff from buying Rage.)
