[QUOTE="Krafen, post: 2640113, member: 5393"] Ah, gestalt. And you are [i]supposed[/i] to break it? Hehe. The Frenzied Berzerker takes 2 points of nonlethal damage each round during frenzy. You should, therefore, find a way to be immune to nonlethal damage. I can't seem to remember which book the half-construct is in, but constructs are normally immune to nonlethal damage. Unfortunately, constructs also don't normally have Con scores which means your frenzy won't last all that long. Half-dragon is a nice template. When playing a gestalt character, look for synergies between your classes. Fighter and Barbarian overlap quite a bit. If you want to play a Frenzied Berzerker, go with Barbarian and another, different, class. Cleric is always a good choice, as is Druid. Frenzy while wildshaped would be interesting. Some of the possible forms have high Con scores. If you do end up with a construct, keep in mind fast healing does work on them. The [i]vigor[/i] spells from Complete Divine will help you a lot. The spell [i]favor of ilmater[/i] from Player's Guide to Faerun gives immunity to nonlethal damage, among other things. Another option would be to go the Warforged Artificer/Barbarian (or Fighter) and take the Warforged Juggernaut prestige class. I believe you could take Frenzied Berzerker after that, too, if you wished. Favored Soul can be nice in a gestalt build as it gives all good saves, specialization, and flight (eventually). The book Races of Stone has two races you should look at. The first thing many people think of when fighting a Frenzied Berzerker is [i]calm emotions[/i]. Make sure to have a good Will save or immunity to mind-affecting effects. [/QUOTE]
