Berserk is a status effect that grants a +2 bonus to THAC0 and damage at the cost of the character losing control of themselves. Berserk comes in two flavors, one type is dormant until a fight breaks out, at which point both the bonuses and loss of control come into play until end of the fight. Another type is active constantly.
When the Berserk effect is active, the affected character will typically attack whichever creature is closest to them, friend, foe or innocent.
