Quasiclass: Berserker

[whodat1]

Berserkers are the ultimate achievement in ferocity. Meditating on its rage, sometimes days in advance, a berserker then works itself into a frenzy at the eve of battle. Drunk on bloodlust, the berserker does not know fear or death, and unleashes his pent up energy into his foes, granting him supernatural powers.

Must have 15 levels of monk and 5 levels of barbarian before level 21. Upon meeting this criteria, berserker's get weapon focus: unarmed at level 21.

Berserkers' get the following bonuses as long as their monk ac bonus is not disabled (by heavy armor or a shield)

- Berserkers' get an additional bonus of 1 point versus discipline checks for every 2 levels of barbarian taken
- At 20 levels of barbarian, berserker's wholeness of body is replaced by body of the phoenix, which when activated creates a no-drop stone of rebirth in the berserker's inventory. (1/day, limited to 1 in inventory)
- For every level of barbarian taken, the berserker gains 2% immunity to all exotic damage types, capped at 40%
- Berserkers' gain spell resistance increases as if their control class was monk.
- Berserkers' can become shapestrong with at least 40 combined monk/barbarian levels (lls count).

Playing around with this idea. The discipline check increases are meant to improve knockdown/disarm/quivering palm. I would probably want to force unarmed fighting as well.

Even if you could get weapon of choice unarmed (The feat doesn't exist), It is useless without WM levels, Ki Critical, Superior Weapon Focus, and/or Improved Multipler.

Sorry, I meant to omit that part, updated

None of that is remotely possible to script, unfortunately.

Berserkers' get the following bonuses:


To acquire the following bonuses, the berserker needs to have no weapon focuses besides unarmed:

At 15 levels of barbarian, berserker recieve body of the phoenix, an item that creates a no-drop stone of rebirth in the berserker's inventory. (1/day, limited to 1 in inventory)
At 15 levels of barbarian, berserker's get ageis, self only

Berserkers' gain spell resistance increases as if their control class was monk.
Shape strong is based on combined monk/barbarian levels.

Also WM purposely were'nt given WoC unarmed, because the original nwn WM sadi that teh Wm levels train a character to use the weapon as part of his own body, and an unarmed blow is already part of your body. There were however otehr prestige class's for unarmed styles (the one that always sticks in my mind is the drunken master, xD).
