They're a NPC class.this is mostly because i failed my saveing throw, if i made it i wouldn't have brought any thing up.my problem is what they called the class and ability. I know what the rules state and what was thought when the class was written. if it is called "ANYTHING ELSE, ANYTHING!" besides frenzy I would have no problem with it.</blockquote>
