Furst of all, hello everyone, this is a nice board and I would like to post a lot there, if only my English was better.
My question is about the difference between barbarian`s rage and berserker`s.

Read the kit descriptions closely...there is quite a bit of difference.
Off the top of my head...
Stat Mods
Berzerker: +15 hp temporarily, +2 Thac0 (bonus), +2 AC (bonus), -2 Save vs Spell (penalty)
Barbarian: +4 Str/Con (resulting in bonus hp and Thac0) -2 AC (penalty), -2 Save vs Spell (penalty)
Immunities
Berzerker: Hold (all forms), Stun, Charm (all forms) Level Drain, Maze, Imprison
Barbarian: same but lacks Imprison
All in all, enrage is better than rage...but Barbarians do get other special abilities.

Thanks, Nighthawk. Imprison immunity is important if I am to kill... you know who. I`ve hoped
barbarians are immune to imprizon too

Do berserker get a penalty to save vs spell aswell? I thougt not. They do get a bonus 2 to their damage roll.
Also the berserker gets winded´for a minute afterwards. Gives the reverse of the thac0 damage and ac bonuses.
I like barbarian rage better, maybe because I like barbarians

Also berserker do not get immunity from level drain.
