Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rune" data-source="post: 6777702" data-attributes="member: 67">I don't actually agree that the berserker subclass is bad (it's a lot of extra damage on top of a top-tier damage-dealing class). That said, there are a couple of variations that I'd like to try:The Endurance Burner: Entering a Frenzy does not cause exhaustion at all. Instead, every round that the barbarian is in frenzy costs a hit die (highest value) at the end of the barbarian's turn. If a barbarian in frenzy has no hit dice left, it dies at the end of its turn instead. While in frenzy, the barbarian may not voluntarily leave it, but may use a bonus action to attempt to do so by rolling a Wisdom check (or maybe saving throw) vs. DC 15+the number of rounds spent in the current frenzy.  The frenzy also ends if the rage ends. Also, while in frenzy, the barbarian must engage in melee (with friend or foe), if able, and must move as far as possible toward the nearest creature if not. The Star that Shines Brightest: While in frenzy, the barbarian does not suffer the effects of exhaustion. The barbarian also does not gain a level of exhaustion when the frenzy ends. Instead, every time the barbarian takes damage while in frenzy, it also gains a level of exhaustion. Every time it reduces a foe to 0 hit points while in frenzy, it loses one level of exhaustion. That's it.</blockquote>
