Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyaricus" data-source="post: 2760910" data-attributes="member: 35678">Thanks for the Q and A man!Aus Snow, thanks for taking the time to actually look up a few details of Berserkers  . . . I really appreciate in-depth criticism by someone who has actually checked out this subject. Here's the webpage where i got all of my info for the Berserker Class and Bearsark/Ulfhednar PrC. I would have posted up this link long before, but i was on a different computer at the time, and only had notes from 2 years ago to wrok from (notes taken from this site, of course). Anyways <a href="http://www.florilegium.org/files/NORSE/Berserkergang-art.html" target="_blank">http://www.florilegium.org/files/NORSE/Berserkergang-art.html</a> will help people a long way to understading where i am coming from for this class and PrC's. Actually, looking at it a bit more, i realise that there are a few details that i may have left out frmo this concpet, as my notes were quite old and perhaps over generalised. I will have to go through and ensure everything is on the smae page. Feel free to take the initiative yourself though, as i always like other opinions.Thanks for the questions! Hope you chekc out that link i posted, as it has TONS of info on Berserkers. Also helps define the thin line between a "standard" Berserker and Bearsarks and Ulfhednars.Yes. That's why Know: Religion is on thier skill list, and why there are prereqs in place for the PrC's associated with this class. Their dedication to their god(s) were noteworthy - esp Odin (in one spelling of his name or another). I suggested a mechanic about 2 months ago but got no fededback. I'd definitvely want to do this, but i need something that will A) be balanced and B) get easier with time (read: levels). But yeah, a class feature i'd like to include that i haven't is that.Yes there were many opinions. Did you know that drugs were also the source for the word and concept of Assassins? Seems that hashish (from marijuana [sp?]) was eaten or something and got a bunch of Muslims really stoned, and they went around killing Christian Knights during the crusades - originally they were called Hashsassins, Later changed to the more easily pronouciable Assassins - and the practice spread throughtout Europe, although with more "hey lets kill and stuff" and less drugs.But enough of the history lesson (for that stuff, anyways). I don't know if Berserkers did drugs or not - but i don't really want to bother with that stuff. That's still up in the air, anyways. The Power of their God, frenzy-ing up and possension by wolf and bear spirit are basically what are more appropriate IMO. Ritual Dance seems to be more of an RPing issue and autohypnosis seems a bit . . hmm flimsy. But yeah, that's about what i am going for here - but that article through the previous link explains it better than i could.These are very good and appropriate questions, and i greatly appreciate them <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> They will really help flesh out this class and give you a better question - but if you got a half-hour, check out that link. It was so much help in crafting ths class and the PrC's.Cheers back at you, and thanks so much!</blockquote>
