First two questions are related to the Berserker subclass of the Barbarian class. I am trying to make sense of it.

1. Frenzy description says “your Rage turns into a frenzy as you release your unquenchable fury and bloodlust”. What is Rage exactly? Looks like I can cast the ability at any point in combat so I think Rage might be irrelevant but I wanted to make sure anyway.

2. I would like to throw stuff as Berserker for damage but I am not sure what are some good things to chuck that I can pick up. Any suggestions for this? So far I have only thrown a mind flayer corpse but the range on that was not good.

The third question is about long rests.

3. Is there any downside to long rests? I was thinking we will turn into mind flayers if we take too long but I am not sure if that is the case.

Thanks.

    I haven’t played barbarian but warlock sorcerer and paladin all work very close to dnd 5e so I’m assuming barbarian follows that trend and this answer is based on 5e’s barbarian

    Rage is a state you can enter with a bonus action, which gives a bunch of bonuses like resistance to physical damage, advantage on strength checks, and added damage to melee attacks. As you level you’ll get some abilities that can add some other stuff like an extra save against being knocked below 0HP.
