These too. Rage Variant: Whirling Frenzy

A barbarian with this variant for of rage doesn't gain the normal bonuses when he enters a rage, he temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength and a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Reflex saves. While in a whirling frenzy, the barbarian may make one extra attack in a round at his highest bas attack bonus, but this attack takes a -2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of oppourtunity the barbarian might make before his next action.

Whirling frenzy is otherwise identical to the standard barbarian rage in all other ways. At 11th level (when a standard barbarian gains greater rage), the Strenght bonus increases to +6, and the dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Reflex saves increases to +3. At 20th level (when a standard barbarian gains mighty rage), the strength bonus increases to +8, and the dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Reflex saves increases to +4.

A barbarian using this variant doesn't gain indomitable will at 14th level. Instead, he gains evasion, but only while in a whirling frenzy.

A character can't use whirling frenzy at the same time that he uses any other form of rage (or similar ability).

The 'animal' barbarian templates seem reasonable. Not overpowered, and could lend some nice flavor to a barbarian. I have no problem with them.

The whirling Frenzy seems a bit tough. Am I reading it correctly? In exchange for the +4 con, you essentially get +4 (relative) AC, evasion, and two weapon fighting? What am I missing?

Hi everone, I want to reopen the proposal minus whirling frenzy. Though I might not even use the variant I think it's a good idea with a lot of flavor.

Comments? suggestion? Can I even reopen a proposal? Would I have to make my own? Is anyone going to yell at me?

Proposals don't formally get closed, just approved or voted down, and this one is neither. So it was already open. You did, however, remind us about it by bumping the thread.

At a glance, I would approve this, although now that I am a judge I'd like to take a closer look before making that official.

Take all the time you need, no rush. I saw a viable proposal and figured that the only reason it didn't get voted on was the whole unknown poster/Frienzy thing

Also I called in reopen because the orginal poster is long gone, so it looks like I'll be the one to argue for it;)

I've been hearing that the totem barbarians tend to be underpowered compared to the standard barbarian, while whirling frenzy apparently is considered more powerful. Though I suppose whirling frenzy might make a nice change for Sairundani barbarians.:lol:

Well, I have no real problem voting yes on the totem variants, but for the Whirling Frenzy, my vote is No.

WF would be a nice addition to any barbarian, on a dervish type...*Shutter*
I'd rather pretend that proposal wasn't even there, and then we can just stick to the totems

The man with the probe
LogicsFate, maybe you should start a new thread with only the totem barbs on it just to seperate it (This post won't ever be updated otherwise).
