Berserker
Fighters are those who are capable foes, but
not formally trained. 3 classes of fighters exist as
characters: berserkers, bounty hunters, and rangers.
The least formally trained of all occupations,
berserkers are known as uncivilized and characters
who easily lose control. In fact, berserkers are unfamiliar
with notions of ethics or morality. A berserker
is usually from a barbarian civilization. What
makes a berserker distinct from any other class of
fighter is that a berserker ingests magic mushrooms
prior to battle. While under the influence of the
psychedelic drug, the berserker goes berserk. See
Chapter 2: Body for the effects of magic mushrooms.
Ability Requirements: Strength 110.
Gender: Female berserkers are rare.
Race: Anakim and human.
Disposition: Berserkers must be unethical
and are rarely moral.
Temperament: Berserkers tend to be choleric.
Sociality: Berserkers are peasants, as are all
uncivilized characters.

only hide or leather armor. Favored weapons include
the footman’s warhammer, broad sword, long
sword, battle axe, bipennis, and pole axe.
Magic Points: Inapplicable.
Advancement Points: Berserkers gain AP
with each successful attack in combat. The points
gained equal the resulting damage done to a foe.
Further, if combat occurred as part of a raid and
led by the character’s barbarian clan or horde, then
the berserker earns twice the AP.
