This isn't an actual ruling of the website itself, but I will say that it'd be better for you to just post the picture link instead of adding the image tags to the sides.

This website is so huge as it is, adding [img] tags can put a huge strain on parts of it from time to time.

Look for an Edit later for what I think of your class, haven't had a chance to read it yet.

EDIT:
Very Unbalanced class. I don't mean unbalanced as in broken or weak, but unbalanced as in too much of a penalty for too much of a bonus in certain areas. The idea that one would have to go into a rage to be able to see anything at all destroys many various aspects of roleplaying. Not to mention, they get good reflex saves. This doesn't make any sense either. How do you have good reflex saves if you don't know what you're dodging? Not everybody can immediately become like Daredevil and just start adapting to the blindness, and even then, Daredevil himself didn't actually good until his 30's, and he started as a kid.

The spellcasting has no apparent part of this class. Barbarians aren't meant for spellcasting, and due to how this class works, neither is this class meant for it. The Blood Magus abilities, rather than just say "As blood magus ability," why not type out the ability itself. Copying blood magus is against the copyright thing, but just using a couple abilities from it have no actual legal threat.

Granted, this class might work in a dungeon crawl, but this isn't too innovative or appealing whatsoever. This is just my opinion of course.
Listen up maggots, Mr. Popo's 'bout to teach you the pecking order.
It goes you, the dirt, the worms inside of the dirt, Popo's stool, Kami, then Popo.

well first than you that u replied then sorry about the picture :S
a long time ago I had this dream to have a front liner and a spell caster
at one time. I know that barbarians have nothing to do with blood maguses
and other spell casters. I understand that it is unbalanced but isn't
it only fair to give and get, give a lot and get a lot and so forth. What do u recommend to do in order to balance the class and eventually keep it.
about the saves it's easy to change them.

I kind of like the blindness factor.

It makes him tougher due to the other bonusses, but kind of balances it out.
I did't do the math, Sib did that already and he's very good at that. :)

The blindness combined with spellcasting is ok, makes him a "Area of effect caster".
Is it dispellable with a spell? It should not be or he would be overpowered.

Good luck,
Rob-hin
Guinness is good for you.

well rob-hin his blindness is because the blood berserker is blindfolded and he automatically loses all his bonuses when he removes the blindfold. It is not dispellable. and about the thing -to rage to able to see I have an idea to make a stomp as a free action which grants him for lets say 2 rounds blind sight (of course the rage doesn't grant him blind sight anymore) And my dm has this idea to replace the bleeding ferocity with this: exchange dmg for a spell that u have for the day we were hesitating whether to be 2 or 3 multiplied by the spell level e.g. when he gives one of his 5th level spell for the day he gets 10 dmg (but we couldn't think of how long to last this. I think it should last til the end of the day since your spell is considered as it has been used)

thank you Rob-hin for your opinion
