[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8489866, member: 57383"] You would be correct: The 3E version is basically a variant of Barbarian Rage: [B][SIZE=6]Sohei[/SIZE] (3E [I]Oriental Adventures[/I]) Ki Frenzy:[/B] Starting at 1st level, a sohei gains the ability to focus her ki power into a frenzy of berserk energy. In this frenzied state, she temporarily gains +2 to Strength and +2 to Dexterity. Her speed increases by 10 feet, and she can choose to make a flurry of blows with a full attack action in melee, making one extra attack per round while suffering a –2 penalty on every attack. While in a ki frenzy, a sohei cannot use skills or abilities that require patience or concentration, such as moving silently or casting spells. (She cannot use any class skills in a frenzy.) She can use any feat she might have except for Expertise, item creation feats, metamagic feats, and Skill Focus (if it's tied to a skill that requires patience or concentration). A ki frenzy lasts for a number of rounds equal to three + the sohei's Constitution modifier. The sohei may prematurely end the frenzy voluntarily. At the end of the frenzy, the sohei is fatigued (–2 to Strength, –2 to Dexterity, can't charge or run) for the duration of that encounter. The sohei can only enter a frenzy once per encounter, and only a certain number of times per day (determined by level). Entering a frenzy takes no time itself, but the sohei can only do it during her action, not in response to somebody else's action. That's missing some of the tricks from the 1E original, such as the missile avoidance. Also, being undead, the Keeper wouldn't be bothered by the fatigue of the 3E version and it does not have a Constitution modifier to determine the duration. So what do you fancy, some combination of the two versions? [/QUOTE]
