Frenzy

Frenzy is a Berserker barbarian bonus action that is a variant of Rage. It turns the Berserker's anger into an uncontrollable fury and grants additional abilities in addition to those from Rage. Wearing Heavy Armour triggers the  Rage Impeded condition, removing some benefits of Frenzy.

Gain Resistance to physical damage, and  Advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws.
