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, she 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 barbarian, the insanity of battle is much like an addictive drug - she must constantly seek out more conflict to feed her craving for battle.
Along the wild borderlands and in the evil kingdoms of the world, frenzied berserkers often lead warbands that include a variety of character types - and even other frenzied berserkers. Some such groups turn to banditry and brigandage; others serve as specialized mercenaries. Whatever their origin, such warbands naturally gravitate toward situations of instability and conflict, because wars and civil strife are their bread and butter. Indeed, the coming of a frenzied berserker is the most obvious herald of troubled times.

Rage
Frenzied Berserker now has a new secondary resource, RAGE. Rage is gained when a frenzy berserker loses HP at a rate of 1 rager per 1% of their HP lost. The maximum amount of rage a Frenzied Berserker can have at one time is 100. The frenzied berserker will spend this rage to use thier other abilities.
Berserk Slam
A frenzied berserker slams his enemy aggressively, just hoping to hit and gain an advantage. Rage Cost - Special. Free Action. Touch Attack. If successful, you deal damage to your target equal to the amount of rage you currently have, then heal for the same amount.
Great Cleave
At 2nd level a Frenzied Berserker gains the Great Cleave feat.
Berserker Roar
The frenzied berserker may let out a loud roar that may demoralize his opponents. Rage Cost - 15. Free Action. Will Save vs 10 + Frenzied Level + Strength Modifier(Not stopped by mind immunity). On a failed Will save, all enemies in a large area around the Frenzied Barbarian suffer 15% more physical damage for 5 rounds. This effect does not stack.
Improved Power Attack
At 4th level, a Frenzied Berserker gains the Improved Power Attack feat.
Diehard
You have a tenacity of will that supports you even when things look bleak. A frenzied berserker fights harder and more tenaciously the worse the fight is going for them. Passive Ability. As a frenzied berserker gets lower and lower health, their combat prowess increases.
The frenzy berserker will gain: Up to 30% immunity to all physical and elemental damages. Up to +25 damage per attack. Up to +100%* movement speed. Up to 10 regen per round.
Immunity: Starting at 90% HP and increasingly linearly at 1% immunity per 2% missing HP, maxing out at 30% Immunity at 30% max HP.
Damage: Missing HP% / 4. IE at 20% HP remaining (80% missing / 4) = +20 damage per attack
Move Speed: +1% move speed per missing HP%. (Caps at 50% unless you have 3 monk levels)
Regeneration: Missing HP% / 20, twice per round. IE at 20% HP remaining (80% missing / 20 = 4 x2) gives 8 regen per round.
It should be noted that a frenzied berserker at low health with frenzy and inspire frenzy (see below) will have:
+50% Immunity against physical and +40% immunity against elemental effects
+50% Move Speed
+25 Damage (including the strength bonus)
+30% Healing from damage dealt
+10 Regen per round
+2 Attacks Per Round
+15% Physical Damage Done (for the entire party)
Bloodletting
The frenzied berserker craves the extacy of combat, the pain as intoxicating to them as pleasure of victory. Rage Cost - 0. Free Action. 60 second cooldown. The frenzy berserker gives themselves a self inflicted injury, harming them for 20% of their maximum HP. This also generates 20 rage from the self inflicted damage. (You cannot kill yourself from using this ability)
Inspire Frenzy
The frenzied berserker imspires their allies to greater hights than they thought possible. Rage Cost - 15. Full Round Action. The frenzied berserker shouts, granting themselves and their allies in a large area +1 attack per round and 10% immunity to physical damage. This effect lasts for 60 seconds. This effect does not stack.
Frenzy
The Berserker works themselves into a terrible fury, rendering them nearly immune to all but the most powerful strikes and allowing them to wallow in the bloodbath of combat. Rage Cost - 60. Free Action. While frenzied the berserker gains +10 strength, +10 constitution, +1 attack per round, +10% immunity to all physical and elemental damage, -4 dodge AC, will heal themselves for whatever base ranks of heal are whenever they damage an enemy. Last but not least they are immortal for the duration of frenzy. At the end of frenzy any damage you would have taken below 1 HP is dealt to you, this damage is lethal. The effects of frenzy stack with those from any rage ability the character may have, and are not restricted by the +12 cap on ability scores. Frenzy lasts for two rounds, or three rounds with the extended rage feat. Also the VFX lights you on fire. It's entirely cosmetic but rad a.f.
