Frenzied Berserker

The random madness of the thunderstorm and the unpredictability of the slaadi come together in the soul of the Frenzied Berserker. Unlike most other characters, he does not fight to achieve some heroic goal or defeat a loathsome villain. Those are mere excuses - it is the thrill of combat that draws her. For the Frenzied Berserker, the insanity of battle is much like an addictive drug - he must constantly seek out more conflict to feed her craving for battle.

Notes

* Frenzy does not stack with Barbarian rage. Each ability overrides the other when used (so Barbarian rage can be used to cancel Frenzy).
* Frenzy strength bonus doesn't count towards +18 cap (same as Barbarian, but they don't stack)
