Mar 27, 2008 16:55:39 For a current campaign we are playing, i am working on a frenzied berserker build to add some brute force and tank capabilities to the party.

heres what i got so far:

half orc

barbarian 4
fighter 2
frenzied berserker 4

feats:
2 rage feats that i cant remember*
power attack *
cleave*

*feats required for frenzied berserker

i have 2 free feat slots which im not sure what to do with, i was thinking of extend rage or extra rage but im not sure.

the budget is 20k gold (the dm likes little to no magic items)

oh, and the dm banned Bo9s

any ideas would be much appreciated

Other basic feat ideas are Improved Bull Rush, Shock Trooper and Leap Attack.

Mar 27, 2008 17:17:50 i checked out endurance but it does not look like it would help the character, its a will save DC20 to end a frenzy before the time is up and all it looks like endurance does is stop me from getting fatigued if i sleep in armor.

also, i checked the d20 SRD and i could not find Steadfast Determination, where is it from and what does it do?

thanks for the ideas, maybe i am mis-reading or looking at the wrong feats.

It's in the PHB II.

The Frenzied Berserker build I intend to make one day:

Goliath Barbarian 6/Cleric 1/Fighter 2/Pious Templar 1/Frenzied Berserker 10

Pious Templar at 13th so you can get Steadfast Determination earlier. Doesn't need no ubercharger mechanics, this guy gets 50+ Strength with Animal Devotion, Rage, Frenzy, Reckless Rage, Mountain Rage... +30 damage from Strength alone = Win.

Endurance is needed for Steadfast Determination, which prevents you from failing ~~Will~~Fort saves on a 1~~, as well as getting Con(instead of Wis) to said saves~~.
