#1 Helaman Sep 03, 2015 3:14:22	I was wondering if anyone has any good rules on recovery from rage when they get to higher levels so that they don't rage themselves to death by multiple rages per day? Short rest restores etc.

Berserkers should view their Frenzy as a 1/long rest overkill ability that happens to have a mechanic that lets them use it far more frequently (nothing stops them from just simply raging, which doesn't have any fatigue drawbacks, and reserving Frenzy for when it really matters; notice that Rage's benefits offset the drawbacks from lower levels of fatigue), and should strongly consider pairing up with a cleric after 9th level when Greater Restoration is available.   That said, I did contribute a potential anti-fatigue mechanic for another poster here. I like the overall mechanic it uses (I'm quite fond of "let's play around with concentration!" spells), but I definitely disagree with how low-level the spell is. (It should be at least 4th level, since it has one of Greater Restoration's major benefits and is actually better than it in some circumstances, but has a few bigger drawbacks and is of narrower use).
