[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 1841688, member: 1044"] Ask the other players what they think about it. I figure it fits the tone of your game, you didn't bring up that it didn't -- a frenzied berserker is not a good class for, say, an urban environment, or anything that suggests a bar room brawl... chuckle... But yeah. The main problem appears to be how it affects the other players. Would your other players enjoy this concept, or not? Further, a guy can certainly play a frenized killer with just the barbarian class as chaotic neutral, I've used those as PCs before and been quite happy with it. (As long as they did something besides, you know, kill things. And "other things" does not include "ok, so i mutilate the bodies too.") I'd give it a "maybe." Maybe run the players through a test combat with some quick characters -- something like that "lucky kobold" jab, where the party has to work with... and sometimes against the crazed machine they have. Could be really fun, especially if the party worked to "cure" the guy, although... I'm really doubting that's what he's going for. Personally I wouldn't allow it, intraparty conflict is left well alone in my games. It's fun, but I'm very bad at handling it as a DM so I avoid it, so I'd avoid this class. Your mileage, of course, may vary. [/QUOTE]
