does berserk strength = rage

[Skyler]

does berserk strength = rage. specifically does berserk strength class feature allow you to qualify for feats? prestige classes that require rage

I´d look on it on a case by case basis.

Where is Berserk Strength found?

Where is Berserk Strength found?

The frenzied berserker PrC in the Complete Warrior, pg 34. I believe this bonus stacks with the bonus from a barbarian's rage.

And, there is also an alternate class selection for the barbarian from PHB 2, pg 33 - instead of gaining rage, you get berserker strength & con when you go below half your hit points. However, that is an either/or selection, so no stacking.

Well do be a Frenzied Berseker you have to be able to Rage anyways to get into that PrC.

But with regards to the Alternate Class selection, you either pick up the ability to Rage or get Berserker Strength. They do not equal each other with regards to feat selection. If they did, there would be a side note, such as the one with Ninjas and how Sudden Strike = Sneak Attack.

So to answer your question: No.

Oops?? I thought he was referring to the alternative barbarian class feature from PHB2... replaces barbarian rage with a berserk rage that engages every time you drop low on hp.
