Re: Small But Fierce
Eh, Punches or kicks can be used without a ready action or a step. Berserk is a pretty hefty disadvantage worth a lot of points, and trying to abuse weapon choice to avoid its drawbacks while benefiting from its upsides would not be revived well at my table.

Re: Small But Fierce
Being forced to all out attack every turn is already sufficient to make berserk not appealing.

Re: Small But Fierce
It does, but that’s ignoring the other severe parts of the disadvantage, which is that you are only allowed to move closer to your foe if there is no foe in range. If there is a foe in range, you can’t move away.

You get some great benefits in exchange, you become immune to shock, stun, knowdown, movement penalities from injuries, and have the equivalent of hard to kill +4. If you don’t enforce all of a disadvantage then you’re giving points for free. I always discourage players from taking berserk, because sooner or later it will get you killed. That’s what it’s supposed to do. |

Re: Small But Fierce
10/10, lots of flavour, a great "character", and someone I would most definitely use as an NPC. I especially like the touches of giving descriptive names to her maneuvers. Well done!
