Zealot subclass doesn't even get that far. You dropped me to zero hit points? I'm going to just ignore that.

Oh no, I haven't heard about this yet. What have they done to my boy?

Massacred him and removed his ability to ignore it. Rage Beyond Death is gone, the level 14 feature is now Rage of the Gods:

When you activate your Rage, you can assume the form of a divine warrior. This form lasts for 1 minute or until you drop to 0 Hit Points. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

While in this form, you gain the benefits below.

Flight. You have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed and can hover.

Resistance. You have Resistance to Necrotic, Psychic, and Radiant damage.

Revivification. When a creature within 30 feet of you would drop to 0 Hit Points, you can take a Reaction to expend a use of your Rage to instead change the target's Hit Points to a number equal to your Barbarian level.

They did make the base class level 11 feature Relentless Rage better, it now restores you to double your level of HP instead of 1 HP if the save succeeds. Zealot Barb also lost its level 3 ability that let them be revived without the caster needing spell components and instead gets a pool of d12s to heal themself with.

This does seem more thematic for the subclass though, not going to lie.

However, I would like to argue that I am, in fact, a creature that is within 30 feet of me that has dropped to 0 hit points.

I don't have the rule citation in front of me but I do believe that is allowed by Rules as Written, I hadn't considered that.

All of this said, Zealot is still my intended subclass to play when I get a chance to play a Barb.
