[QUOTE="Shariell, post: 2515448, member: 27027"] Personally, I've grant him a huge amount of extra hit points when in berserk rage, instead of such high damage reduction, ad I give him a +10 to strenght like the official frenzied berserk. The extra hit points instead of the uber damage reduction seems to me more in-line with the berserk warrior concept. Of course, at the end of the berserk rage, the extra HP go away, possibly leaving the berserk unconscious or even dead. I will make him completely immune to all charme and compulsion effects during the berserk rage, and force him to attack even allies if there is no enemy around him. Berserk rage, in my humble opinion, is not something you can control. The reason I don't like your super-high DR, is because it really protect him from damage, istead to permit him to don't care about the damage for the duration of the rage. This way, you don't obtain something around the concept of berserker warrior, but rather something like an epic dwarven defender. Don't want to seem rude, but this guy "as-is" has an epic damage reduction, and near no need for a cleric at the end of a rage. Subtract 15 from any attack hitting it, maybe is a little bit over the power curve of the others combat classes. Don't want to criticize your work, and don't want to be offensive. Feel free to ignore my points if you completely disagree, but I hope they can help you someway :) Bye! Shariell [/QUOTE]
