So, let's say my DM is an idiot, and wanted a high powered game. So, he let me chose Were-Bear as my race, and then let me get 10 lvls of Barb and 10 lvls of FB...Is he really an idiot?
Frenzied Berserker+Exotic Weapon Master+ Barbarian= broken?

Nope - at that level nigh infinate damage in melee is a perfecly reasonable advantage. (Werebear +3LA+6 HD + 20 lvls) = 29th level.
At this point the DM is either Blackdirge (a member of enworld known for epic monster statblocks) or has a limited grasp of the rules and is making up most of the stuff anyway.
btw. Welcome to the Boards!

Eh, Frenzied Berserker isn't that great. One Grease spell pretty much shuts them down since they can't make Balance checks while frenzied. While that's great for preventing friendly fire (I hope your Wizard wins initiative, mwahahaha!), it's not so great against a smart enemy spellcaster. Oh, and if you have a low Will save for your friends to shut you down with Calm Emotion, you'll also have a low Will save for your enemies who want to turn you against your friends with Dominate Person.
Also, high melee damage < high level spells. And some mid level spells.
(By the way, you might want to check out how much a Druid in Dire Lion form plus Bite of the Weretiger can do on a pouncing charge.)

Another flaw with the FB is that they are all offense and no defense. At high levels, it's very, very easy to suck up so much damage that when the FB comes out of the frenzy, he's at minus a couple hundred HP...
At least that was my experience when I ran an 18th lv one shot. The only thing that kept the completely broken and abusive FB/Warshaper alive, was his weapon which healed him for half the damage he did. And that only kept him alive because the Druid kept summoning stuff for him to kill to regain HP.

It's not broken; it's just one of the few effective ways to make a damage-dealing PC at high levels.
Besides, that Frenzied Berzerker is weaksauce, anyway; I've seen builds that deal over 500 damage every round. I remember seeing a post with a table detailing the optimal level of Power Attack for any given AC.

Ah... thread necromancy. It looks like DemonikWraith was the one who cast that particular foul spell.
Almost four years old, too.
. It would be handy if posts were color-coded according to age, or something.
