    Because Berserker Strength is instantaneous, Brianna is constantly in a paradoxical cycle of rage.

    Unfortunately, all the fun things that trigger when a Barbarian enters rage are Pathfinder material, not 3.5 material (AFAIK).

    Also, for Cursed Sword shenanigans, I recommend using a shuriken-- it's its own ammunition, and unambiguously a "weapon".
    I love infinite loops like this. I vaguely remember someone using a rage related item or feat to generate extra HP (not just con related hp gain) when they use it or something but I can’t remember.

    May I ask why you would use a Shuriken though? I suppose it lets you skip the quick draw feat tax so that’s a plus. Actually now that I think of it it’s only 1 damage less than a dagger so that’s pretty good, though i’m not sure you could apply Iaijutsu focus too it since it lacks the melee property. I kinda want to make a build for this now

    Edit: I realized now that you meant pulling out shuriken as a way to draw the sword, i’m stupid
