I've been thinking what are the diffremces between Frenzy and Rage? Which one is better and safer?

While in Frenzy you can attack allies unknowingly, in rage you do not.

Do both; your party loves being PKed.

Rage is better because it is safer.

Purely mechanically, frenzy is better.

One extra attack and a +6 bonus to strength.

Rage is safer since you don't kill your party when you run out of enemies...

Edit: Of course, use both for the most fun!

One less silly thing that probably bears mentioning is that Rage grants a +2 Morale Bonus on Will Saves, which helps to avoid that whole PKing thing, and you have to save to avoid going into a Frenzy whenever you're damaged.

Frenzied Berserker is ridiculously powerful in terms of damage output. The only problem is that it's balanced with 1) two crappy feats and 2) the fact that you randomly kill things like puppies and party members.

Different enough such that righteous wrath does not work on frenzy.:P

I find it rather simple. Rage is a p***** off guy that goes beserk to slay his opponent.

Frenzy is like the Hulk, unstoppable, but uncontrollable as well.

On the other hand, this is Frenzy:

For what it's worth there's also Ki Frenzy, but that's just Sohei.
