BERSERKER
A MASSIVE WOOKIEE HUNTER PROWLS THROUGH THE FOREST, HEFTING
his vibroaxe. With a roar he charges at the pair of
trandoshans who dared poach his kin.
A gamorrean snarls at the latest challenger to his
authority over their savage tribe, ready to break his
neck with his bare hands as he did to the last six rivals.
Frothing at the mouth, a nikto slams his helmet into
the face of his foe, then turns to drive his armored
elbow into the gut of another.
These berserkers, di erent as they might be, are
de ned by their rage: unbridled, unquenchable, and
unthinking fury. More than a mere emotion, their
anger is the ferocity of a cornered predator, the
unrelenting assault of a storm, the churning turmoil of
the sea. For every berserker, rage is a power that fuels
not just a battle frenzy but also uncanny re exes,
resilience, and feats of strength.
PRIMAL INSTINCT
People of towns and cities take pride in how their
civilized ways set them apart from animals, as if
denying one's own nature was a mark of
superiority. To a berserker, though,
civilization is no virtue, but a sign
of weakness. The strong embrace their
animal nature keen instincts, primal physicality, and
ferocious rage. Berserkers are uncomfortable when
hedged in by walls and crowds. They thrive where the
civilized don't.
Berserkers come alive in the chaos of combat. They
can enter a berserk state where rage takes over, giving
them superhuman strength and resilience. A berserker
can draw on this reservoir of fury only a few times
without resting, but those few rages are usually
su cient to defeat whatever threats arise.
CREATING A BERSERKER
When creating a berserker character, think about
where your character comes from and his or her place
in the world. Talk with your GM about an appropriate
origin for your berserker. Did you come from a remote
planet, making you a stranger in the area of the

of your next turn.
BRUTAL SHOT
You attempt to knock the target prone. The target
must make a Strength saving throw or be knocked
prone.

SPINNING FLOURISH
Gunslinger Practice: 9th level
You can ourish your weapon in an intimidating or
charming manner. As an action, you can cause one

(DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your Dexterity
modi er). On a failed save, the target is charmed or
frightened by you (your choice) until the end of your
next turn.
HEAD SHOT
Sharpshooter Practice: 9th level
You are at your deadliest when your enemies are

turn in combat yet.

is surprised is a critical hit.
DISTRACTING SHOT
Sharpshooter Practice: 13th level
You are able to defend your compatriots from afar.
When a friendly creature you can see within your
weapon's normal range is the target of a ranged attack,
or forced to make a saving throw, and the source of
the e ect is within your weapon's normal range, you
can use your reaction to make a ranged weapon attack
against the source. On a hit, instead of dealing
damage, the target of your attack has disadvantage on
the attack roll against your ally, or your ally has
advantage on the saving throw to resist the e ect.
DOUBLE TAP
Sharpshooter Practice: 17th level
You've learned to capitalize when you have the
advantage. When you take the Attack action and make
an attack with advantage, you can choose to forgo the
advantage. If you do, you can make an additional
attack against the target or another creature within 5
feet of it (no action required). Both attacks can bene t
from your Sneak Attack damage, instead of only one.

You gain access to new maneuvers which re ect the
progress of your studies into the medical arts.
Whenever you learn a new maneuver, you can choose
from any of the following as well. The maneuvers are
listed in alphabetical order.
ADRENALINE HIT
You can use an action and expend one superiority die
to inject a creature with regenerative medication that
temporarily enhances their agility. When you do so, a
creature you can touch regains hit points equal to the
superiority die roll. Additionally, until the start of your
next turn, when that creature would take damage, the
amount is reduced by an amount equal to your
maneuver modi er.
EMERGENCY PRESCRIPTION
As an action, you can expend one superiority die and
touch a creature. That creature regains hit points equal
to result of the die + your maneuver modi er, and
when that creature makes their rst ability check,
attack roll, or saving throw before the start of your next
turn they roll the superiority die and add it to the roll.
ENHANCEMENT INJECTION
As an action, you can expend one superiority die to
inject a creature you can touch with enhancements,
granting them temporary hit points equal to the
superiority die roll + your maneuver modi er, which
last for 1 minute. Additionally, when the target makes a
Strength or Constitution check or saving throw while it
has these temporary hit points, it gains a bonus equal
to your maneuver modi er.
NEUROBLOCK

superiority die and add it to the attack roll. On a hit,
the creature's next attack has disadvantage and it
cannot regain hit points until the start of your next
turn.

d12 at 17th level.
Additionally, whenever you expend superiority dice
to restore hit points or grant temporary hit points to a
creature, if the creature is the target of your Critical
Analysis, you can instead choose the maximum on
both dice. Once you've used this feature, you must
nish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Starting at 11th level, you can use it twice before a rest,
but only once on the same turn.
RESUSCITATE
Doctor Pursuit: 9th level
Through your medical studies you have learned to
delay seemingly inevitable death. As a bonus action,

themselves in brush and rubble. Scouts focus their

FOCUSED BURST
Path of Focus: 3rd level

against your total powers known. Additionally, you can
use all three Force-Empowered Self options when you
cast it as your action. If more than one creature would
be a ected, and you use your Double Strike feature,

choice, minimum of +1) to damage rolls with it, and
creatures that succeed on their saving throw take half
damage, instead of none.
BLADE DANCE
Path of Focus: 3rd level
When you deal damage to a creature within 5 feet of
you, you can move up to 10 feet without provoking
opportunity attacks.

you may instead expend no force points and roll a d4
in place of your Kinetic Combat die.

assume that you are spending your time between
adventures in cities, availing yourself of whatever
services you can a ord— paying for food and shelter,
paying townspeople to repair your equipment, and so
on. Some characters, though, might prefer to spend
their time away from civilization, sustaining
themselves in the wild by hunting, foraging, and
repairing their own gear.
Maintaining this kind of lifestyle doesn't require you
to spend any coin, but it is time-consuming. If you
