Berserk is Minsc's exclusive ability.

Effects[]

Minsc becomes enraged for 2 turns. While enraged, he gains a +2 bonus to his Strength and Dexterity and becomes immune to charm, confusion, fear, feeblemind, hold, level drain, maze, stun, and sleep. He also gains 15 temporary Hit Points, which are taken away at the end of the berserk spree (possibly knocking him unconscious).

Gameplay[]

  • The Berserk status effect provides a +2 Damage and +2 THAC0 bonus, at the cost of losing control over the character: While under the Berserk effect, they will attack the closest creature, regardless of allegiance.
  • This status effect will not protect Minsc from Imprisonment
  • Once 2 turns are elapsed, Minsc will take 15 damage. Should he have less than 16 HP:
