A reckless fighter in a race known for their healing problems. As much sense as nipples on a breastplate.

Deep Dwarf berserkers are sensible due to divine regeneration by Trog's Hand; it makes no less sense than DDCK of Makh or DDNe.

Do you think relying so heavily on divine intervention is a remotely believable way of training ? For me it cheapens the thing and makes it feel less special. The Hand costs piety. Makhleb doesn't charge directly, but justifying it that way would make Aztecs blush. And the whole affair sounds too calculated for a berserker, especially the magic bit.

At the very least the name should be changed. You could also describe them as some sort of ultimate nihilists. Heh, even "Nihilist" is a better name.

DDBe isn't even an uncommon DD player combo. What are you crying about?

OG17, this is the last time I point out you act like a dick. From now on I'll be ignoring such comments. Personal attacks and disrespect lacking any substance only work if people are too stupid to spot it. People whom I value more than you may be less thick-skinned and I don't want you to drive them away.

I apologize if that was offensive, but most everything you say is ill-considered or outright wrong, regardless of if you have dpeg's ear or not, and this FR is no exception. It's a little tiresome on this end, as well.

Berserkers are in since a long time, and have seen several rebalancings since then. Sorry for not marking this done earlier.
