Berserker from Dieties and demigods, yeah the seem kinda cool, but I think you would be ebtter fo just plaing a warblade, they are all the rage.

04-09-07, 03:32 PM If you mean a Barbarian/Frenzied berserker (Complete Warrior) build, the Frenzied Berserker pretty much just takes what a barbarian does, (hit hard, Power Attack, damage soaking) and takes it to the extreme. If you ARE going to play this Prestige Class, warn your fellow party members, as you lose a certain amount of control because of the frenzy mechanic, and they'll need to expend a bit of their resources to protect themselves from you (not a whole lot mind you, just some).

As far as the Dieties and Demigods thing goes, I'm not familiar with that one.

04-09-07, 07:51 PM Yes, they rock damage-wise, if you mean the Frenzied Berserker (not positive what other class there is). On that note, your party members better have someone that can isolate you or control you once you're done murdering the baddies, or you'll have a stew of goblins and PC's for the entire time he lasts. I've heard from others that they can die easily just because of their incontrollability, but I never had a problem, and I only knocked the fighter into negative hitpoints once. :D
