[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2751178, member: 35678"] Due to a lack of interest on my main Berserker thread ( [url]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=144925[/url] ), 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.
