Looking at Barbarians, and thinking about multiclassing into them, I was wondering, can you cast cantrips when raging? The PHB says "No Spells," and I'm unsure if a Cantrip fits under that category. Thanks!

Cantrips are spells indeed.

Thanks! I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

When differentiating between leveled spells (like Magic Missile) and Cantrips, the game will usually say something like "When you cast a spell by expending a spell slot..." or "When you cast a spell of level 1 or higher...".

Also rage doesn't ban you from expending spell slots such as divine smite or ranger's crappy primal awareness.

And a warlock's Eldritch Smite. It also doesn't disrupt existing non-concentration spells, such as Mage Armor, Spiritual Weapon, or Armor of Agathys. It also won't stop spell-like abilities like Minor Conjuration or Spirit Totem (from the Shepherd Druid).

Now I want to make a dream druid/ ancestral guardian.
