Hi all-

Who here is familiar with the Berserker class from the Viking's Campaign Sourcebook (AD&D 2nd edition)?

I am debating using the berserker class in my campaign. For those of who you don't have it, the berserker has similarities to the 3E barbarian (mainly the whole rage thing), but at higher levels has the ability to shapechange; into a wolf at low levels and a cave bear at higher levels.

My worry is that shapechanging might be a bit overtly magical for Birthright. However, the Rjuriks have their Dooms, of which shapechanging is one, and the Vos berserker kit (2nd Ed) mentions that every berserker has a totem animal (though it has no game effect).

With those points in mind, perhaps this berserker could work. What do you think? Thanks for the input!
