In fact, I think the berserker is one of the most awesomely effective combat machines in the game. Well, I've found that pc berserkers are more than willing to suck up a level of exhaustion or two, sometimes more when the chips are down. And the frenzy shouldn't be used every time they rage; if it was intended to be, it would simply supplement/replace rage. Most barbarians do more than 1d4 with that bonus action attack. Polearm masters do 1d4. (Plus Str bonus, of course, but that's a wash.)I see what you're getting at here. I guess if you find the Frenzy damage boost to be overwhelming, this is a good fix. Personally, I like the fact that barbarians do lots and lots of damage and evaluate classes on a more rounded basis than just damage.I also really think you're overvaluing a bonus action attack for 1d4 damage when compared to a 2d6 or 1d12 hit with a maul or greataxe.</blockquote>
