{{abilities:berserker.png?nolink}} A berserker must fail a [[morale]] check vs 12 every time they take damage, or become berserk. | {{abilities:berserker.png?nolink}} Whenever a berserker takes damage, they roll an openended 3d6. If the result is less than their [[morale]], they become berserk. |

{{abilities:gone_berserk.png?nolink}} A unit that has gone berserk will appear to gain a red pulsing glow. It will not cast spells or follow orders: it will instead run forward and attack the nearest enemy. It will not retreat, not even due to the [[turn timer]], and its morale is set to 99. The berserk state is cancelled if its [[fatigue]] reaches 100, though this does not prevent a unit berserking again once its fatigue falls. A unit that has gone berserk also gains fatigue per round (in a similar mechanism to [[exhaustion]]) equal to the (1 + berserk value)/2, rounded down. | {{abilities:gone_berserk.png?nolink}} A unit that has gone berserk will appear to gain a red pulsing glow.

The spell Touch of Madness acts as a Berserk of level 0 meaning the only benefit is being unable to route. | The spells ??Touch of Madness?? and ??Growing Fury?? give berserk level 0, meaning the only benefit is being unable to [[rout]]. |

Mounted units may **not** berserk, except for the special hero Cu Chulainn of MA Eriu. You need the tag "mountedbeserk" to go berserk as a mounted unit, which currently only he has. However, they're still affected by items which directly apply the "goneberserk" tag such as Lycanthrope Amulets. | [[battle enchantment|Battlefield enchantments]], such as ??Foul Vapors??, stay up even if the caster has gone berserk. |
| [[innate spellcaster|Innate casters]] keep casting spells even when berserking. |

FIXME Will berserked innate casters continue to cast? | |
