[QUOTE="hong, post: 1841207, member: 537"] The consensus is that it's broken. Others might add that it's also unnecessary; you don't need a prestige class to represent a guy who goes wild in combat, because that's what a barbarian is to start with. If you do allow it, consider the following: 1) Tone down or remove deathless frenzy. Having someone be immune to hit point damage is nuts. 2) Replace some of the mega-damage abilities with mega-soak. +6 Str when frenzying increasing to +10 is pretty OTT, even if the character takes a bit of damage each round. Actually, the frenzy variant of rage in OA would be a good replacement: +4 Str, one extra attack at -2 (like a monk's flurry), +2 to AC and Ref saves. The super power attack abilities are similarly nuts; I'd give DR instead. 3) Remove the kill-everyone-in-sight drawback. It's a great way to annoy the other players, verisimilitude be damned. Actually, it's much easier to Just Say No. [/QUOTE]
