It's the fact that it is just another option. There is no requirement for it. Not as a Skill, nor any of the preparation you mention above. It is simply "All-out Attack". If a character is without shield and armor (for whatever reason), why would you 'Melee Attack' when you can 'Berserk Attack'? You lose nothing and gain an extra attack. And it can be turned on/off at will, apparently. To me that says great control, something that could easily be combined with skilled attacks. You didn't create an option that that matched your vision.

You can get a better look at the idea of Berserk from an earlier post. <br /><br />http://heroworlds.blogspot.com/2013/08/berserk.htmlFenway5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14870312188585916750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-54658852402754606822013-08-17T08:30:22.304-07:002013-08-17T08:30:22.304-07:00Something is up with my blogger - did post but for...Something is up with my blogger - did post but for some reason didn't show up?<br /><br />Anyway, I would love to comment on the system using berserker rules, but sadly I'm not at all familiar with it.<br /><br />So can the player character control this rage, or is a random event? And when it kicks off, does the rest of the party suffer in any way, e.g. also suffer attacks from their berserk comrade?<br /><br />Ever thought of using it a a reason for a quest? The party are trying to track down a particular NPC who is rumoured to be able to cure people of berserk rages?<br /><br />I did, once a long time ago, read a book centred on a group of berserkers (possibly 8 in total?) whom travel up and down the coast attacking settlements. They are described as large, beast-like men with red blazing eyes. Anyway, the story I read focused on a young warrior who manages to slay one of the berserkers - a rare thing, apparently - but who now has to take the place of the fallen berserkers amongst the ranks of the other berserkers, and travel with them until he dies or is slain. Nice twist I though.<br /><br />Look out for these series of books, the first being entitled, Berserker: Shadow of the Wolf ~ written by Chris Carlsen.<br /><br />:)Mark Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002166292175980928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-18178451487028285602013-08-17T06:48:32.531-07:002013-08-17T06:48:32.531-07:00Historians believe Beserkers often worked themselv...Historians believe Beserkers often worked themselves into a frenzy before attacking and some think they consumed some sort of drugged food before working into a berserk fury. Either way it was a conscious choice made prior to the Berserk frenzy.Fenway5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14870312188585916750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-39769399236170646932013-08-17T06:37:49.798-07:002013-08-17T06:37:49.798-07:00How is it people have a choice about going berserk...How is it people have a choice about going berserk.
