Talk:Berserker Physiology/@comment-50.152.166.63-20130216055721

As a lifeflong berserker I can tell you that there are other physiological traits shared by berserkers. Berserkers have large arteries and small veins. The arteries are well protected by muscles and the veins are near the surfavce. Berserker blood is thick and the large arteries, small veins, and thick blood gives them malignant hypertension that does not seem to weaken the heart.

In combat the berserker is in a cold rage and fights hard against anyone in his way. His vision is impared by blood in his eyes forming a red outline on the perifery of his vision. He feels no pain when struck and, since his blood is thick, his wounds produce little blood and the blood coagulates rapidly stemming the flow. His strength is that of many men and he cannot be defeated except  for a mortal and immediate wound.

He should die with sword in hand to enter Valhalla.
