Introduction

A Berzerker follows the path of destruction in a manner as quick as possible. They follow no god. They believe themselves closer to any supposed god as any other being. Killing only makes them want to kill more and will sometimes not stop until there is nothing evil left to kill.

Rules

All undead unique monsters encountered must be killed including Rustweaver, Viletouch, Lionskull the Bent, Blackstorm, Chaos Howler, Deathspit, Deathshade Fleshmaul, Nightwing the Cold, and Shadowcrow. Any monsters associated with death, darkness or doom is considered a slap in the face to the Berzerker, for it is his will and way to bring death, darkness, and doom upon THEM.

Speed/Haste, leech, blood, and +Damage suffixes are preferred.

Items

Enchantment Bans

Blessed, saintly, holy, godly (a Berzerker does not believe in any deity, so the magical effects would not work for them), lords, knights, kings (despises royalty), crystal, diamond, sapphire, jade, emerald (despises the upper class wealthy snob --SNOB's beware ! :)), +Light Radius

Unique Bans

The Berzerker hates uniques with -Life/-Vitality, and he has a few other dislikes.

Messerschmidt's Reaver, Wicked Axe, Dreamflange, Royal Circlet, Gleamsong, Immolator, Naj's Puzzler, and any with -Life/Vit

Shrines

Touching any shrine or any form of any shrine is forbidden, but drinking from a blood pool is allowed.

Quests

1) The Ironman Trial

The Berzerker must play as if he were an Ironman character for dungeon levels 1-4. If the character dies before completing level 4, that character must be deleted. Dying after that, however, does not (unless you want to delete him). After 4 is completed he is officially a Berzerker. Though if you want a title, you must continue the Ironman until you die (continuations after every 4 levels are possible, just like in real Ironman). When on your first Ironman Trial through dungeon levels 1-4, Butcher or Skeleton King do not have to be killed, but hooray for you if you do kill them.

The titles for furthest dungeon level are as follows:
5: the Steadfast
6: the Focused
7: the Strong
8: the Mighty
9: the Powerful
10: the Champion
11: the Butcher
12: the Slayer
13: the Angered
14: the Enraged
15: the Furious
16: the Berzerk

After the first time you die, you can play without Ironman rules. If you die on a dungeon level prior to the level you attained your title at, in any difficulty, you must delete the character (or at least not play it anymore). Essentially, if you are lucky enough to get "the Berzerk" title you are a no deaths character (you can't die anywhere).
