I think most people just do a point of damage to all in the radius and move on.nondisclosed_email@example.com (thecustodian)Sun, 05 Feb 2006 20:26:10 +0000 Re: Berserk!https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556758,from=rss#post556758https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556758,from=rss#post556758Tagging onto the end of this, when he gets a '1', does he only damage nearby warriors or do all things standing next to him (including monsters) take one damage? I like to think it is a wild frenzy that hits all rather than one aimed at friends.nondisclosed_email@example.com (grogling)Sun, 05 Feb 2006 20:02:09 +0000 Re: Berserk!https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556757,from=rss#post556757https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556757,from=rss#post556757So I'm okay in forcing people to roll berserk whether they like it or not? Good-o! That's all I wanted to hear. nondisclosed_email@example.com (thecustodian)Sun, 05 Feb 2006 11:06:29 +0000 Re: Berserk!https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556756,from=rss#post556756https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556756,from=rss#post556756Beserking is a mental instability (or gift depending on how you look at it). A schizophrenic has no choice as to when other characters talk; a psychotic patient cannot cannot predict when he/she will see something unreal; so a beserker cannot choose when to beserk. Thus I think it is a 'must roll' issue. Besides, the dwarf cannot choose when to roll his two damage dice.

Going berserk is like an characteristic of the barbarian, providing sometimes advantage, sometimes disadvantage for the players. There is no choice, the barbarian doesnt think if or not, he just goes berserk and we have to live with the result .nondisclosed_email@example.com (Matja)Sun, 05 Feb 2006 03:34:54 +0000 Re: Berserk!https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556754,from=rss#post556754https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556754,from=rss#post556754I never played it as a choice. I mean, I can't really see a barbarian in a combat think "hmm, things are going pretty good, with all this gold I'm making, I'll be able to buy that new shiny armor... well, to speed things up, I'll go in Berserker rage for a while, that should be fun..." I've always seen combat having the same effect on a barbarian as something red on a bull. Charge and think about the consequences later. After all, you get a +1 on your berserk roll for each enemie you killed during that combat to illustrate this. Berserker isn't a choice, it's a way of life.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Sudden Real)Sun, 05 Feb 2006 01:21:31 +0000 Re: Berserk!https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556753,from=rss#post556753https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556753,from=rss#post556753quote:It takes a concious choice most of the time to work yourself into a beserk rage   Last time I disagree with you then!   nondisclosed_email@example.com (thecustodian)Sat, 04 Feb 2006 23:55:57 +0000 Re: Berserk!https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556752,from=rss#post556752https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556752,from=rss#post556752I've always played it as there choice. It takes a concious choice most of the time to work yourself into a beserk rage in my opinion. I dont see why you wouldnt though unless your buddy is next to you on 1 wound.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Karadryel)Sat, 04 Feb 2006 23:52:01 +0000 Berserk!https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556751,from=rss#post556751https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p556751,from=rss#post556751Hey Just a quick question- do Barbarians (and Trollslayers if applicable) HAVE to roll Berserk, or can they choose not to? I have always run it so that they do but I think the wording suggests it's their choice. nondisclosed_email@example.com (thecustodian)Sat, 04 Feb 2006 23:42:30 +0000
