#####R=== Berserker ===

#####GDescription

A Berserker is a fierce warrior from the far North, highly 
skilled in melee combat but rejecting missile weapons as 
the tools of a coward.  They  also shun heavy metal armor, 
preferring to wear only lighter forms of protection such as 
leather.  As they increase in level, Berserkers gradually 
improve their ability to ignore blows (gaining a higher 
Armor Class).

In addition to their raw combat power, Berserkers have a  
few abilities unique to their class.  Some are spell-like,
such as the ability to resist fire and change into a bear 
at high levels.  Others are purely physical talents, such 
as the ability to enter a berserk rage and make wild all-
round attacks.  Both kinds of class ability depend on the
