The Viking:

Weapon-
Real Vikings mostly used spears and one handed or two-handed axes, and sometimes though rarely they used swords. This Viking will be allowed to use all axes even the wicked axe (Loki is a god) and they will be allowed to use all hammers not clubs but two-handed hammers, no swords of any kind.

Armor-
(includes helms) Real Vikings never wore plates so plates are a no-no mail and lower are allowed provide that they normal armor or have a prefix of fine, strong, grand, gloruis, blessed, saintly, awesome, holy or godly. The only allowable suffix are the following: Craftsmanship, Structure, Strudiness, or Ages. He may wear any unique helm or armor but it must be identified the only execptions to this are still no plate ie. Naj and Deamspike coat. Any unique helm is allowed. The viking never used a shield. Vikings will never wear a crown either the crown is reserved
for a king not a Viking warrior.(no crowns of any kind)

Jewerly-
The Viking may only use the following jewerly: Bronze, Iron, Steel, Silver or Gold, No unique jewerly is allowed, and nothing that adds hps or resistance.

Magic-
The Viking will never use any kind of magic except for Town Portal Scrolls, He Is not really Christian nor is he fully Pagan so he does not touch any shrines or cauldrons. He never reads a book nor any scrolls execpt for the TP scrolls. They may use elixers and heal potions

The Berserker-
Out of Viking history comes the Berserker. These crazed fighters would go into battle armed with nothing but their fists and no armor. No one is real sure why they went berserk but it is widely believed that it came from some kind of plant that they ate. For our purpose a Viking will only become Berserk if he touches a shrine or cauldron when he does he becomes berserk and drops all his gear, all of it, and starts killing until he dies. Only then can he go to Valhalla to be with Oden.
