Does Banner of Rage (frenzy) overcome stupidity; or do i still have to test for stupidity

I have had terrible luck with chaos trolls and stupidity. tried keeping them close to the general and just hasnt worked. tried putting a sorcerer in with them, still failed the leadership test. put a BSB and atleast the reroll has kept them from stupid most of the time. but what if the BSB has Banner of Rage! does frenzy overcome stupidity? the reason i ask is looking in the basic rulebook for frenzy, it states reference to Immune To Phsycology, but on page 71 for ITP, it only states panic, fear and terror, and doesnt mention stupidity. So just checking with you guys before i tried it in a game. my hope is the banner of rage over rules the stupidity check, but want to make sure!
thanks

I pretty sure that frenzy (and thus immune to psychology) will not protect your trolls from stupidity. If you look at the first line under the rules for stupidity it states that "Models that are subject to Stupidity are also Immune to Psychology..." (BRB page 76), so I'm fairly certain that you would end up with stupid frenzied trolls ;)

Yup, ItP only protects against panic, fear and terror in 8th ed.
