Berserk

Berserk

Berserk triggers when the Evangelion is attacked whilst inactive or when the pilot is unconscious, incapacitated etc. When Berserk triggers, the pilot makes an SR test with a -60 penalty. On a success, the Evangelion berserks.Berserk Evangelions are immune to fear, pinning, fatigue and any status effect that would affect the pilot primarily.

Berserk Evangelions will prioritise whatever attacked it as a target. Once that target is destroyed, it will attack anything else that it deems a threat. A Berserk Eva will use whatever weapons it deems necessary, and in normal circumstances will not retreat but will prioritise killing its target; it must make an offensive action every turn. Berserk Evas gain +10 WS, +10 BS, +2 SB, TB and ATS; Intelligence and Perception default to 30. If all valid targets have been destroyed, test the pilot's WP or Fellowship; on a success the Evangelion goes dormant within the next hour. On a failure, however, the Evangelion remains berserk for 1d10 hours per Degree of Failure, during which it either rampages, wanders aimlessly or flees. For every full 24 hours it remains berserk, the destruction it inevitably causes incurs 1 point of RP penalty.
