ParanoidObsessive 09/05/17 6:45:13 PM #224: | Quick question: You know how the usual defining trait of a berserker is "being really pissed off", and D&D basically treats "berserker" as the defining characteristic of the Barbarian class? I was thinking the other day about keeping all the rules the same, but changing the flavor of the berserking. Like, instead of a character who is frothing-at-the-mouth burning with raw, screaming rage, having a more "cold", focused fury. Where the warrior isn't screaming and hacking and going full-bore crazypants, but has more of a dead calm, tunnel-vision, inhuman killing machine sort of feel (so if one was after you, they'd look less Tasmanian Devil and more Terminator). I was trying to think of real-world cultural stuff to see if I could come up with a name to describe that sort of combat trance, but all I could think of was the various takes on rage/berserking (like the "warp spasm" of Celtic stories or the bear/wolf/boar-serkers of the Norse). I was wondering if anyone here might be able to think of something I missed. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
