I made this PrC up an hour ago to add some flavour to a NPC barbarian. PEACH

The Spirit berserker:

Skills: (as barbarian)
Prerequisties:
Rage 3/day

A spirit berserker goes far beyond the limits of any ordinary barbarian by fueling his rages with a great portion of willpower, they are able to move faster and resist more during their horrifying tantrums.

Why does it gain Spell Resistance and a speed bonus? o_O

It doesn't seem to make much sense, and it's kinda weak. It doesn't gain anything but a speed bonus and spell resistance, and that's only when raging.

Speed bonuses are mostly secondary class features, and spell resistance while raging is a boon but nothing to write home about. What this class needs is some unique abilities, and a capstone ability, otherwise it's going to be dead levels once they've run out of rages.

In all honesty, the guy's better off going straight barbarian.
