I'm guessing he meant to say "3rd level Arcane spells".

They would have to be human, though. Or else incurring some serious XP penalties, no?

Only one class not at first level; it is druid though, which isn't a favored class for the vast majority of races. Human and Half-Elf from the core, Lizardfolk and a few others that have Druid as favored are all viable options. Of course, the lizardfolk has 2 HD and +1 LA, making the character 11th level....Nonlethal Force said:They would have to be human, though. Or else incurring some serious XP penalties, no?

I think both of the posters above are missing the most salient point: The advice-seeker did not complain about the FB, only the level/number/strength of magic items. Nowhere does the writer suggest that he felt the choice of PrC is unbalancing his game.
Yet somehow an employee of WotC, the guy they hand-picked to deal with player questions/issues, automatically jumped to the conclusion that the FB was a problem. The advice to ban the FB was not prompted by anything in the DM's letter; it was wholly unsolicited. In fact, it was pretty seriously off topic of the question. To me that is telling and warrants consideration.

It almost forces to the other characters to devote a portion of their resources to controlling/stopping the berserker when they are in a frenzy, or run the risk of getting killed by their own comrade in every dangerous fight.
No, that's the whole problem. The drawbacks of the class don't limit it at all. Instead, they limit the other characters in the party, and to a large extent dictate their tactics.QuaziquestGM said:so....you are saying that the drawbacks of the class limit it rather nicely?
