Berzerker: Difference between revisions

You were born amidst the towering arctic mountains, axe and spear in hand.  From an early age, you displayed unmatched ferocity and unyielding spirit, but there was also a [[darkness]] about you.  Even by the time you were a young teen, you displayed not just bravery, but unmitigated savagery on the battlefield. As you continue to hone your physical prowess, the burning rage within you only grew hotter. Now, you brim with tremendous bloodlust. The life of adventuring suits you, especially a life in pursuit of dangerous battles, as you look for any opportunity to unleash your inner demon.

'''Exile:''' Your life is a cruel joke. Through some misdeed or overzealous act, you have become an exile, and you seek to make your own way in an uncaring world.

'''Fearless:'''  You are made of sterner stuff than the average [[soldier]], and do not frighten easily. You can stare down any horror without flinching.

|When you take this entry you gain the following abilites.

* <u>Blood Rage</u>: Gain one special AP that can only be used to make attacks on your turn or to make reactive attacks if you have the ability to do so.  You regain this AP at the start of each of your turns, but it cannot carry over like normal AP.  You can only gain one source of special AP.  If you take this class feature while already having a source of special AP, chose which feature to retain.

* <u>Ferocious</u>:  (2/Rest) If an effect would cause you to become Frightened, you may become determined and ferocious. You ignore that effect and become immune to being Frightened for a number of minutes equal to your amount of Berzerker talents+1.

|You are marked, tattooed, or branded in some way. This sign of your exile has not broken your will. Gain one of the following benefits:

* <u>Mad Dog</u>''':''' You have turned to the life of the mercenary, specializing in protection and thuggery. When you are within 5 ft of a friendly creature, that creature can add 1/2 your STR/Menacing to a CHA check that they make.

|If you have imbibed in the past hour, you gain +2 to your weapon damage rolls, but have TD.

|Increase your unarmed damage die size by one (e.g., from 1d4 to 1d6). If you didn't have an unarmed damage die, it becomes 1d4.

|You gain a special bond with a creature. This creature can be ML 2 or lower and must have the Beast tag and no other creature tags. Your companion follows your instructions and acts at the end of your turn.

When your companion reaches 0 HP, it falls unconscious rather than [[dying]], and will return to full health upon Taking a Rest.

|(CHA/Rest) Your mark becomes a badge of honor, an emblem of your path to restoring your name. You may use your WILL in place of your ANT or LOG when your ANT or LOG is attacked. You regain all expended uses when you Take a Rest.  

|Through endless tribulation, you have emerged victorious, your Honor restored. Your name and force of character are an inspiring presence to behold.

* <u>Unimpeachable</u>: Your allies within 30 ft of you may use your WILL instead of their own. Once an ally has used your WILL, they cannot benefit from this again until they Take a Rest. When someone uses your WILL in place of their own, you regain 1d10 HP.

|Choose REF, FORT, ANT, or LOG. While you are not blooded, WILL and your selection increase by +1.

While Ferocious, your LOG equals your FORT unless your LOG was already higher.

|Gain +1 Fort.

If you Catch Breath and have no uses of Ferocious remanining, regain one use.

|When you are not Bloodied, all of your Physical and Mental defenses increase by +1.
