In 3.5, power attacking with a two-handed weapon adds 2 damage for every point of BaB sacrificed.

The Frenzied berserker gains improved and supreme power attack, adding 3 damage/2 attack and 2 damage/1 attack, respectively.

So if you convert an existing FB to 3.5, does he only use his power attack abilities with a one-handed weapon? Or do they stack, so improved power attack adds 3:1, and supreme adds 4:1?

Improved Power Attack: When wielding a two-handed weapon, the frenzied berserker gains a +5 bonus on melee rolls for every -2 penalty on melee attack rolls.

Supreme Power Attack: When wielding a two-handed weapon, the frenzied berserker gains a +3 bonus on melee rolls for every -1 penalty on melee attack rolls.

Sounds like a good compromise, and probably what I'll end up houseruling.

OK, I vote for Chris7476's solution!

Huh? In complete warrior the penalties and bonuses for frenzied berserker's two-handed weapon is:

Improved Power Attack: -1 to hit, +3 to damage
Supreme Power Attack: -1 to hit, +4 to damage

I can't see why you are making it less effective than in the official rulebook?
