*** Berserker *** The style emphasises entering into a violent frenzy where personal safety and pain are disregarded. At the beginning of a fight, or upon taking an injury, a berserker may attempt to roll his POW x5 to enter a frenzy. When in a frenzy:
- Damage modifier is increased by one step.
- Parrying or Evading attacks are one step more difficult.
- Endurance rolls for resisting the effects of injury are one step easier.
- Effects of Fatigue are ignored.
After the fight any deferred Fatigue levels plus one additional level are applied.
***Batter Aside*** If the fighter’s Damage Modifier is two or more steps greater than his opponent’s, his weapon is considered one size larger for the purposes of bypassing parries Mythras pg 89
***Intimidating Scream*** Style encourages frequent yells and bellows in combat to intimidate foes, making any psychological resistance rolls inflicted on an opponent one grade harder. Mythras pg 89
***Throw Weapons*** Any nominal melee weapon in the style can also be thrown at no penalty to skill, but when used in this way a weapon’s damage roll is halved. Mythras pg 89
Shield Splitter Permits clubs and axes to roll the weapon’s damage twice and pick the best result, but only when using the Damage Weapon special effect against shields.
