How would you keep a Frenzied Beserker from killing the whole party?

[QUOTE="durath, post: 247996, member: 832"] [b]We'll see[/b] My PC just took his first level in the Frenzied Berserker prestige class last session. Today is the frst time I will get to play him with his new abilities. I'll let you all know how it goes. Personally I think all of those who think this class is unplayable are metagaming just a bit too much. Hell, I'm the whole reason Limper is so up in arms about this(I play in the same campaign.) Personally I think this class has tremendous potential for great role-playing. I also don't see much difference between a Frenzied Berserker and a mage who can cast fireballs. Since you all like to metagame so much try this on for size.......... What do you do if the party mage is dominated in a fight and is forced to start dropping fireballs and phantasmal killers on his allies? Would the party(if they survived) decide to take "scythes to his throat and coup de grace" him while he slept? Probably not; and no "reasonable" party would to a FB either. By the time a PC could take levels in FB it is the dominated wizard scenario could also be happening. Quit metagaming and play the darn game. As to the original question about how to help out. I'll repeat mainly what ohters have said: 1.Work on getting that will save up. Increase wisdom through items and level-ups. 2.Once the party is aware that thier tank can sometimes not control his rage make sure to have illusion spells ready. The class description says the FB attacks perceived "foes" before friends. Make sure he doesn't run out of foes. 3. Don't fight close to this guy!!!!!!!! If you are noticing enemies running scarce hide or run until your friend calms down. Limper and I will report back from time to time and let you know how the class works out in our game. Personally I think my PC will be killed in battle(we are in a campaign focused on Giant slaying) long before he can harm a friend. [/QUOTE]
