Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyaricus" data-source="post: 2751178" data-attributes="member: 35678">Due to a lack of interest on my main Berserker thread ( <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=144925" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=144925</a> ), i am posting up its two Prestigue classes in hopes of getting some feedback. Thanks in advance.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Some Berserkers attain great levels of valor and prestigue, and their tales are written in the greatest sagas of the world. Some of them can tap into something even more primal and feral that a rage; they can focus their fury to the point that they can shape-change into fearsome animals; namely wolves and bears.Those who gain this ability to become a bear are called Bearsarks (as you may know already, the name berserker is derived from this > it means "bear shirt" approximately). Those who choose the wolf are called Ulfhednars. These two use the same PrC as a base, but gain specific abilities depending on which animal they choose.The Bearsark and Ulfhednar PrCREQUIREMENTS:*Alignment: Any Chaotic*Race: Human*Base Attack Bonus: +7*Skills: Intimidate 4 ranks, Knowledge (Religion) 4 ranks*Feats: Cleave, Power Attack, Skill Focus (intimidate) and one of the following: Improved Bull Rush, Improved Overrun, Improved Sunder*Special: must have Rage class ability and must go through a rite of passage with a Bearsark or Ulfhednar[if you want to use the standard barbarian, remove Skill Focus: Intimidate]BAB: +1Saves: good Fort, bad Ref and WillHIT DICE: d12CLASS SKILLS: The Bearsark/Ulfhednars class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Intimidate (Str), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str).1. Bear/Wolf Shape I2. Rage +1/day3.4. Bear/Wolf Companion5. Bear/Wolf Shape II, Bear/Wolf Attributes I6. Rage +2/day7.8. 9. Bear/Wolf Shape III10. Rage +3/day, Bear/Wolf Attributes IICLASS FEATURESWeapon and Armour Profs: The B/U does not gain proficiency with any weapon or armour. Furthermore, like a Berserker, a B/U may not use any armour except his bear or wolf cloak. Bear/Wolf Shape I (Su): At first level, a B/U may use a Rage attempt per day to instead shape-change into a fearsome bear or feral wolf. This uses a varient of the polymorph spell (and the druids wildshape class ability). First: the Bearsark. A Bearsark shape-changes into a black bear (medium size). While in this form, he gains +6 Str and +4 Con, but retains his own Int, Wis and Cha scores. A Bearsark also gains +10 feet of movement, +2 Natural Armour, low-light vision, the scent ability, a +4 racial bonus on swim checks, two claw attacks (1d4 damage), a bite attack (1d6 damage) and the Run feat. The Ulfhednar shape-changes into a Wolf (medium size). While in that form, the Ulfhednar gains +6 Dex and +4 Con but retains his own Int, Wis and Cha. An Ulfhednar also gains +20 feet of movement, +2 Natural Armour, low-light vision, the scent ability, a +4 racial bonus on survival checks made while using scent, a bite attack (1d6 damage), the Track feat and the wolves Trip (ex) ability.Unlike the polymorph spell, the B/U doesn't regain HP after he has shapechanged, and this change lasts for a 1/2 hour per Bearsark/Ulfhednar level. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action that doesn't provoke an Attack of Oppertunity. The B/U cannot speak in its new form.Rage +x/day (ex): At second level (and every four levels after) the B/U gains an additional Rage per day.Bear/Wolf Companion (ex): At fourth level a B/U gains an animal companion as a Druid of his level. His druid (or ranger) levels stack for the purpose of determining the addional abilities the animal companion may have, but the B/U may ONLY have a bear or wolf as a companion; all others must be "released from service," as it is.Bear/Wolf Shape II (Su): At level five, the B/U may use his Bear/Wolf shape independantly from his rage ability, up to 1/2 his normal uses of his rages per day, rounded down. For example, a Berserker 7/Ulfhednar 5 may rage a total of 3 times per day. He may take his Wolf Shape once per day (3/2 = 1.5, rounded down is 1).Bear/Wolf Attributes I (ex): Also at level five, a B/U gains a permanent, +1 bonus to Str (Bearsark only) or Dex (Ulfhednar only). A B/U also gains a permanent Limited Scent ability (as the Scent ability per the MM, but with 1/2 range)Bear/Wolf Shape III (Su): At ninth level, a B/U may use his Wolf or Bear Shapes a total number of times per day equal to the number of rages he has per day. These do not count against his Rages per day. For example, a Berserker 7/Ulfhednar 9 may Rage 4 times per day, and Wolf Shape 4 times per day.Bear/Wolf Attributes II (ex): At level ten, the both the Bearsark and the Ulfhednar gains a permanent +1 to Con. Furthermore, the Limited Scent ability is replaced with Scent, per the MM</blockquote>
