Under NO circumstances should you let them take the "Shock Trooper" tactical feat, also from Complete Warrior. Not if you want your monsters to live more than a round or so, at least. Human Barbarian 6/Frenzied Berzerker 10 with 18 starting Strength : 18 Str + 4 Level points + Belt of giant strength (+6) + 4 (rage) + 10 (frenzy) = 42 Strength, to hit and damage modifier +16. Can take whatever you throw at it and come back for more, as far as hit points are concerned, because of deathless frenzy. I had to fight one in a campaign once, and when he finally dropped (ONLY because his frenzy ended), he was more than a hundred points below zero. Throw in Shock Trooper, and the Heedless Charge ability, and you get them taking -16 to ARMOR CLASS because of Power Attack, adding +64 damage to their greatsword damage, and charging. Still have +34 to hit, armor class is abysmal (but who cares when you have deathless frenzy), and 2d6+80 points of damage on the charge. Add in a falchion for improved threat range and you see how sick it can get. As for Eberron, I'm not too sure about that, because I haven't run it yet. One thing I DO know about is to make sure you apply the errata on the Talenta Sharrash. It's a 19-20/x2 weapon now, rather than x4.
