Bersaerkae (3.5e Creature)

We are not animals, to be hunted by your whim. We are not dumb beasts of the wild. We are the bersaerkae, and we will not stand for intruders into our realm!

More information...

Out of the snow rises a huge, massively muscled bear. With a roar, it charges.

Bersaerkae are gigantic, intelligent bears hailing from the far north. Although they have a reputation as fierce, brutal, and merciless predators, bersaerkae are actually highly intelligent and honorable.

Combat

Bersaerkae attack with abandon, striking out at all foes. Their favorite tactic is to place themselves within striking distance of all their foes, thus able to use cleave and rend to their greatest advantage.

Rend (Ex): If a bersaerkae hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d8+11 points of damage.

Berserk (Ex): 3 times per day, a bersaerkae can enter a state of extreme rage. While berserk, a bersaerkae gains a +8 bonus to strength and constitution, cannot use any charisma or intelligence based skills besides intimidate, gains fast healing 5, the Diehard feat, and SR 11 + hd. They remain berserk for rounds equal to their (new) constitution modifier +5. It requires a dc 20 will save to voluntarily withdraw from a berserk.

gollark: The thing with making modern technology early is that quite a lot of it would just not have worked very well without other advances.
gollark: What might be interesting is completely departing from the whole "sequentially executing C-like code as fast as possible" thing. Though I guess that's... basically GPUs now?
gollark: I mean, that's... two architectures, and IIRC they're bad in different ways.
gollark: I expected to basically just use it for portably accessing stuff at home, but it turns out that most of my workloads run fine on this and my desktop's GPU was (still is, but I replaced it with a much worse one so I could use it workingly as a server) a bit broken so I use it for most stuff now.
gollark: The main issue is that I did not buy enough RAM for it, and the screen is bad.
