[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 2759445, member: 29112"] On a whim, I decided to look into this area a bit (via net, not books - I have no book for this, as it stands :(), and well, based on a few scraps of info I came across, I thought I'd ask a couple of questions about your Berserker class - also, they might relate to your PrC's hereabouts. Are/were you planning on symbolising their dedication to Odin (or a similar deity, perhaps), assuming they'd retain that aspect? Will/should the inability to differentiate friend from foe feature at all? Most significantly perhaps, what do you envision as being the source of the Berserker's Rage ability? I ask this, because apparently there are a number of opinions (both scholarly and not so) floating around regarding that very question. Let's see: The power of their god, is one; drugs of one kind or another (most likely courtesy of fungus); strong liquor (possibly with other dubious substances tossed or brewed in); ritual dance / frenzy / 'autohypnosis' effects; and lastly (that I've came across so far) being possessed by a wolf or bear spirit - deliberately, it would be fair to assume, I think. If these kinds of questions/issues are of any use [I]at all[/I] to you, I'll try to provide more Q and/or A soon. Cheers, and best of luck with it all, either way. disclaimer -- if I've somehow managed to miss an important post, or part thereof, and have therefore gone off on a completely redundant path, just let me know. :) [/QUOTE]
