Berserker: [Minor] by Iczer

'Now...You've....done...It....'

The character can sacrafice his more complex self for a more primal and dangerous self, sacraficing his will to become more dangerous.

The character triggers this at will. The effect lowers his ME, IQ and MA by 2D6 (minimum 3) but heals 1D4x10 SDC and HP (Plus 3 per level). The character becomes animalistic, gaining 1 extra attack per melee, and a damage bonus of +1D6 to all forms of attacks, and gains +2 to strike with all attacks, but -4 to parry and dodge. The character makes a saving throw (14+) to control these urges, but if he fails he comes out of his damaged state swinging at friend or foe (prefereably foe, but this becomes a time to settle any existing grudges with nearby allies as well).
The rage persists for 1D4 minutes, or indefinately if kept in combat. the lost attributes return at a rate of one every 15 minutes.
