Talk:Berserk (3.5e Trait)

Bonus Feat

Why does Berserk have to give you a bonus feat at all? A barbarian with this flaw is not particularly harmed by it. IMHO, the benefit of the flaw itself is worth its problems. --Foxwarrior 14:56, 18 September 2009 (MDT)

I'd say just take out the +5 to str. flaws don't grant benefits. even "countered" ones. --Name Violation 16:36, 18 September 2009 (MDT)

I figured that I'd give the +5 to str. so when they go berserk, and have less control over their character, it would be a way to at least stay alive. But It can be seen from both points of view. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.13.37.243 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 18 September 2009 (MDT). Please sign your posts.

So it is a trait if anything. No UA flaw gives a bonus to anything. it only negatives, hence flaw not buff with a -3 wisdom. why isn't every barbarian taking this for a free feat. it just doesn't balance.--Name Violation 15:50, 22 September 2009 (MDT)

I added Template:Delete. --Green Dragon 16:26, 22 September 2009 (MDT)

i'd say take away the bonus feat and move it to traits.

still doesn't work. any barbarian ('specially if you intend to go frenzied berzerker) still gains a huge bonus at no loss. a physical bonus at the cost of mental stats is a twink's dream flaw, and the save is low enough that a wizard is basically passing it every time and gets a feat. it COULD be made into a viable TRAIT, but its still not a flaw, a flaw should have a constant negative and no bonuses--Name Violation 18:46, 30 September 2009 (MDT)

I don't think we need to delete it. I think it just needs to be turned into a trait with no bonus feat.-- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) .

an idea to fix it...

what if we just flat out change it to "must attck untill all foes that damaged them are dead or unconcious out atleast 1,000 feet away, must attack any opponent that damages him/her" make it a no retreat. you cannot willingly let an opponent escape. may not deal non leathal damage with a lethal weapon if the foe damaged them with in the last round. --Name Violation 03:33, 2 October 2009 (MDT)

I think I fixed it
