Natural Berserker Archer

[Magnum Crosser]

Does the talent "Natural Berserker" work with missile weapons?

Edit: There is no mention to it being melee.

I'm not sure about this, or whether you get true berserking bonuses with missile weapons. Would be interesting to test, if I wasn't lazy.

You don't get the 'lust for blood' message, and attacks with a newly-generated archer don't seem any more effective without wearing armor than with wearing it.

Not true berserking bonus - that not working would fit - but the Natural Berserker talent.

I'm not sure. Missiles don't seem to get the full berserk bonus, so I doubt that the talent bonus from Natural Berserker will get you more than +1 to hit, if it does anything. I guess it's worth checking out next time anyone takes the talent. I don't think I've taken it, or at least not more than once.

By the way - did you know that the word berserk comes from the two old norse words "ber" and "serk", meaning "bare" and "normal-viking-clothing". So taking off clothes and getting bonuses to damage is not that far-fetched. Add some psychedelic mushroom consumption and we have a raging old norse killaholic.

However, I have problems visualizing a missile being any more damaging or accurate due to being fired by a naked, battle-frenzied hallicinating crazed fighter. Rather the opposite, actually.

TB should introduce hallucinogens to JADE. You consume them and are automatically in Berserk the whole time. If True Berserking, you get double bonuses. All monsters appear as a random monster icon named "meat sack" so there is no telling what you're killing.

Yeah, the original Norse berserkers were pretty cool. I'm not sure about tension rooms of berserkers, though... seems like they would slaughter each other while standing around waiting for someone to come along and open the damn door.
