''Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting''
You have a magic brand on your body that rejects any attempts to heal or remove it, even through magic. This brand has given you strange abilities, such as the ability to see into the spiritual world or to witness ghosts that others might not notice. Furthermore, your brand occasionally bursts forth into ghostly light, filling you with otherworldly power.
The exact nature of how and why you have this brand is up to you and your MC. If you are playing ''Soliloquy of Annihilation'' or ''Daughter of the Shadows'', the campaign includes specific lore justifications for your brand. Your MC will give you some information about your brand at the beginning of the campaign, and you will learn more as you play.

|'''Blood Rage II'''<small>**This is the same as Blood Rage II in the Rage Track</small>
|Berzerker Entry
|You have a brand on your body that magically reappears whenever you magically heal it, cut it off, or otherwise try to remove it.
Gain the Fury ability. Whenever you use Fury, your brand bursts into flames that cause no mechanical harm to you or any other creature or object. This results in searing psychic pain, but your resolve allows you to make this mechanically negligible.
'''Fury.''' When you make a melee attack, you may gain +2 to your attack rolls, but all attacks against you have +1 TA and your mental defenses are reduced by 2. This lasts until the start of your next turn.
|''Berzerker, Branded, Rage''
|-
|'''Eternal Mark'''
|Blood Rage II
|You are harder than ever to kill. The number of Death Points it takes to kill you increases by +2. Whenever you receive any kind of healing aside from Catching your Breath, Recouping, or Taking a Rest, make a DC 12 LUCK check. On a fail, you do not gain any HP from the healing, but gain any secondary benefits.
|''Berzerker, Branded''
|-
|'''Soul Brand'''
|Eternal Mark
|Your soul is permanently scarred.
You can never be resurrected.
Gain the Branded Retaliation ability.
'''Branded Retaliation.''' When a creature crits against you with a melee attack, you may make a 0 AP reactive attack with a weapon you are holding, or with a natural or unarmed attack. (2/Rest)
|''Berzerker, Branded''
|-
|'''Soul Brand II'''
|Soul Brand
|When you use Branded Retaliation, if you have any Death Points, then your crit range increases by +2 for your reactive attack.
|''Berzerker, Branded''
|-
|'''Spirit Sight'''
|Eternal Mark
|You are haunted by ephemeral sightings of ghosts and demons. While your Ferocious or Fury abilities are active, you gain Spirit Sight.
'''Spirit Sight.''' You can see Unseen and Ethereal creatures within 60 ft of you. You can also see areas where planar travel is particularly easy or common, such as permanent gateways, even if they are not typically visible to the naked eye.
|''Berzerker, Branded''
|-
|'''Spirit Sight II'''
|Spirit Sight
|You also gain Spirit Sight whenever you are Bloodied.
|''Berzerker, Branded''
|-
|'''Shademarked'''
|Branded 4
|Gain the Shademarked ability.
'''Shademarked.''' When you attack with Fury, you may increase your crit range by +2. If you do, make a LUCK check. The DC is 10 + your number of Branded talents. If you fail, you gain +2 Fear as your brand scalds your psyche. If you fail by 10 or more, or if you crit fail, then you gain no Fear; instead, you summon a shade in an unoccupied space within 60 ft of you, an inverse echo of your Essence bent on destruction of all that you hold dear. It has the stats of a [[Slaugh]], rolls its own Initiative, and is violently hostile to your allies. Whenever you deal damage to your shade, you also take that damage.
|''Berzerker, Branded''
|-
|'''Blood Circle'''
|Shademarked
|When using a melee weapon, you may make a special attack: Blood Circle.

'''Burning Brand.''' By gaining +1 Death Point and removing no Death Points during your current Recoup or Take a Rest, you may remove 2 Fear. (1/Recoup)
|''Berzerker, Branded''
|-
|'''Greatweapon'''
|Shademarked
|You may channel the mystical power of your brand into a specific weapon. That weapon must have the two-handed or unwieldy tag.
When you Take a Rest, you may imbue this weapon with the power of your brand. It becomes your Greatweapon. You may make a weapon that is already magical your Greatweapon, provided that it has the two-handed or unwieldy tag.
Your Greatweapon is unbelievably large, gaining +5 ft reach and becoming unusable in combat by anyone other than you. It also has runic detailing on the blade that closely resembles your brand.
You may only have one such weapon at a time. If you imbue your brand to create a new Greatweapon, your first one magically reverts to its normal, mundane form.
Deal +2 damage on all hits with your Greatweapon. Your Greatweapon counts as magical and costs 5 Essence (plus its normal Essence, if you turned a magical weapon into your Greatweapon).

For the duration, you can cause the spirit to appear anywhere within 60 ft of you by spending 1 AP. When it appears, and on each of your turns while the spirit is there, you may spend 1 AP to allow the spirit to grant +1 TA or +1 AR to a creature that it is adjacent to until the start of your next turn.
