Apr 10, 2009 5:37:25 are you using the Generic Warrior from UA... if so, they recomend that the two classes are not used together... notice:
GENERIC CLASSES

The variety of class options available to characters can seem overwhelming. Though that variety can lead to interesting and exciting combinations, a game master who desires to run a simpler campaign (while still allowing for character variety) can use these "generic" character classes in place of the standard character classes.
The three generic classes here - warrior, expert, and spellcaster - cover the common roles of a group of adventurers. (Despite sharing names with NPC classes, the warrior and expert presented here are very different from those classes.) But despite these classes' basic approaches to character building, each one allows a wide variety of archetypes through the selection of skills and feats.

If you use these generic classes, you shouldn't also use the standard character classes (or variants of those classes). You can still include prestige classes, if you wish to add that level of complexity to your game, but you may have to tweak some prestige class prerequisites that include class features not available to these classes.

:D

Apr 10, 2009 6:06:57 my thoughts are the same as alot of people frenzied berserker its a prestige found in complete warrior. Champion is nice if you have the wisdom and charisma to pull it of if not Id go frenzied berserker. What do your stats look like?

Apr 10, 2009 8:23:21 Rune-Scarred Berserker is competitive with Frenzied Berserker. Your very own Antimagic Fields and Heal spells!

Might I also suggest the Instantaneous Rage + Intimidating Rage + Imperious Command feats? Once that Charisma gets up a point....

Apr 10, 2009 12:39:33 Go for a charger if you need to dominate melee, I'd give advice how to build one, but I'm sure others have better suggestions. Regardless, if your becoming a charger, look at the hood or go FB.

Apr 10, 2009 15:19:57 Frenzied Barbarian + Righteous Wrath + raging while frenzied == lulz.

Add eagle mount, shake well, mix gently, pour into a cup full of pwn.
