Tired of being inspired to make a barbarian only to find you should have made a Joe Average fighter instead? Put this in your override, make a new barb, and rip the smirk off Joe's face.
Installation: Put Frenzy Barb folder in your NWN2 mydocs override folder.
What's in the box? An override of cls_bfeat_barb.2da, cls_feat_barb.2da, and feat.2da, ver. 1.12 MotB, allowing the following changes to the stock NWN2 Barbarian class.
[01] Extra bonus feats at level 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 from the following bonus feat list:
Alertness
Cleave
Great Fortitude
Improved Power Attack
Improved Unarmed Strike
Iron Will
Knock Down
Lighting Reflex
Power Attack
Toughness
Skill Focus Listen
Skill Focus Parry
Skill Focus Taunt
Imp Initiative
Blooded
Bullheaded
Resist Poison
Snake Blood
Strong Soul
Great Cleave
Thug
Skill Focus Craft Trap
Blind Fight
Resist Disease
SKILL_FOCUS_CRAFT_ARMOR
SKILL_FOCUS_CRAFT_WEAPON
SKILL_FOCUS_INTIMIDATE
MONKEY_GRIP
TRACK
GREATER_RESILIENCY
SKILL_FOCUS_SURVIVAL
EPIC_SKILL_FOCUS_SURVIVAL
DASH
SELF_SUFFICIENT
[02] Frenzy Berserker incorporated into the Barbarian class. FB is still available as a PrC with no changes made by me. The feat schedule is the same as if the barb or a fighter had taken FB10 without interruption from level 7 to 16 as per stock NWN2 rules.
LEVEL | FEAT
07 | FRENZY_1
08 | SUPREME_CLEAVE
09 | FRENZY_2
10 | DEATHLESS_FRENZY
11 | ENHANCED_POWER_ATTACK, FRENZY_3
12 | FEAT_INSPIRE_FRENZY_1
13 | FRENZY_4
14 | GREATER_FRENZY, INSPIRE_FRENZY_2
15 | FRENZY_5
16 | INSPIRE_FRENZY_3, SUPREME_POWER_ATTACK
[03] Great Strength I-V, Great Dexterity I-V, and Great Constitution I-V selectable as normal feats starting at level 6. This may seem shocking but keep in mind that fighters can get 10 Great XYZ feats at epic level plus Greater Weapon Focus/Specialization pre-epic while barbs get only 5 and nothing better than weapon focus in that line of feats, and a few rages.

there are also alternative class features from Unearthed Arcana and other sources the fix the giant hole in barbs. As stock a barb is less than even a fighter. FB added into the progression really only makes then even. _________________________ Baldur's Gate: The Sword Coast Chronicles
I'll have to try this out. I'm a bit hesitant of you including the FB with the Barbarian, but I respect the idea behind making the Barb actually usable.
