A runescar isa means of storing a spell, much like a scroll. The berserkerknows only a limited number of spells with which to imbue runescars,selected from the runescarred berserker spell list below. Tolearn a runescar spell, the berserker must have a Wisdom scoreof at least 10 + the spell level. A runescar berserker can only castspells by crafting them as runescars; she has no other spellcastingcapability and cannot use spell completion or spell trigger magicitems based on spells from this list.Scribing a runescar takes 1 hour, the expenditure of materialsequal to 5 gp × spell level × caster level, and the expenditure of XP equal to 1/25th the gp spent. The charactermay set the caster level of the runescar at anywhere from theminimum class level necessary for her to know the rune toher own runescarred berserker class level. She may scribe arunescar only on her own body. The act of scribing a runescaris painful and deals 1d6 points of damage per spell levelat the end of the scribing time. (The berserker is free to healthis damage by any normal means afterward—the runescarremains until activated.)A runescarred berserker can bear no more than seven runescarsat any one time: two on the chest, two on the upperarms, two on the backs of the hands, and one on the face.Runescars are dormant until activated and cannot be dispelled(although they can be suppressed).Runescars are considered divine spells, although a berserkerdoes not actively prepare or cast them. The save DC,if necessary, is 10 + spell level + the berserker’s Wisdomscore. To activate a runescar, the character must take astandard action and touch the rune. All runescar spellstarget only the runescarred berserker or an item in her possession,even if the spell scribed could normally be bestowedon another subject.After activation, the runescar’s magic is discharged, andthe rune fades to nothing but a faint outline. Typically, aberserker’s skin is crisscrossed with dozens of old, dischargedrunescars. Extra Rage (Ex): A runescarred berserker gains additionaldaily uses of the barbarian rage ability. At 2nd level, she gainsone additional rage per day; at 5th level, she gains a second additionalrage; and at 9th level, she gains a third additionalrage. For example, a barbarian 8/runescarred berserker 5 canrage three times per day from her barbarian levels, plus twomore times from her runescarred berserker levels, for a totalof five rages per day. Ritual Scarring (Ex): Through frequent disfiguration of herown skin, a runescarred berserker gains a +1 natural armorbonus to AC at 3rd level. This increases to +2 at 6th level, and+3 at 9th level. Spawn of the Frost (Su): Inured to the bitter cold of Rashemen’swinters, a runescarred berserker gains cold resistance 5.Damage Reduction (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a runescarredberserker gains the ability to shrug off someamount of injury from each blow or attack. Subtract 1 fromthe damage the berserker takes each time she is dealt damagefrom a weapon or natural attack. At 7th level and 10th level,this damage reduction increases to 2 and then 3 points. Thisoverlaps (does not stack with) damage reduction from anyother class feature. Greater Rage: Starting at 8th level, a runescarred berserker’srage bonuses become +6 to Strength, +6 to Constitution,and a +3 morale bonus on Will saves. Her AC penaltyremains –.
