Berserker. This is a warrior who is in tune with his animalistic side and, during combat, can achieve an ecstatic state of mind that will enable him to fight longer, harder, and more savagely than any person has a right to.

The Berserker also gains 15 bonus Hit Points that last until the end of the ability's duration (losing these Hit Points may knock the Berserker unconscious). After the effect ends, the Berserker also becomes winded, suffering a -2 penalty to Armor Class as well as to attack and damage rolls.
