Berserker/Demonborn

A Berserker Archetype by Ask (Knight Dude) for ffd20
A half port of Fiendflesh Shifter for ff20.
Either cursed warriors or knowing invokers of dark powers, a demonborn fights using his anger to draw more unnatural forces, transforming their bodies in into facsimile of devils, demons and other creatures that may be described as unholy. Though often hunted by zealots and purists, the Demonborn ultimately is the one who chooses the way he shall use these powers. Thought it is hard to say that they aren’t geared in the slightest towards facing the armies of good.

== Demonic Form (Su) ==
At 1st level, a Demonborn when raging transforms his body into an unholy form. While in this form, the Demonborn gains darkvision out to a range of 60 feet (or doubles the range of his darkvision if he already has it), a gore natural attack that deals 1d6 points of damage (1d4 points of damage if the Demonborn is Small), and DR 1/good. Furthermore when raging he also counts as Outsiders with the Native and Evil subtypes for feats and abilities that target type, as well as his original type.
At 5th level, the Demonborn’s DR increases to 2/ good and he also grows a pair of bat-like wings when using his Demonic Form, granting him a fly speed of 30 feet with average maneuverability.
At 11th level, the Demonborn’s DR increases to 5/good, and the electricity and fire resistance provided by his fiendish resilience ability (see below) doubles while he is using demonic form. °
At 15th level, the Demonborn’s DR increases to 7/good and his fly speed increases to 60 feet.
At 20th level, the Demonborn’s DR increases to 10/good. He also gains immunity to electricity and fire and spell resistance equal to 15 + his berserker level.
This ability replaces Rage Forms, Blood Rush and Rage Strikes
== Fiendish Resilience (Su) ==
At 2nd level, a Demonborn gains a +1 natural armor bonus to his AC and resistance 5 to electricity and fire. At 4th level, 12th level, and 20th level, this natural armor bonus increases by 1. At 8th level and 16th level, the Demonborn’s resistance to electricity and fire increases by 5.
This replaces Uncanny Dodge.
== Shifting Demon (Su) ==
At 7th level, when a Demonborn rages, he can gain an additional ability from the list below. The Demonborn can change which ability he gains each time he uses fiendish aspects. Furthemore their attacks count as evil aligned for bypassing damage reduction.
* Tartarus: Shadow resistance 10 and a +4 profane bonus on saves against disease.
* Abyss: The demonborn’s electricity resistance doubles.°
* Infernal: The demonborn’s fire resistance from doubles. °
This ability replaces Damage Reduction.
°Clarification Note: On resistance, when at level 11 with Demon Form and either Abyss or Infernal Shifting Demon applied, the Elemental Resistance is tripled, instead of doubled twice.
== Archfiend Form (Su) ==
At 11th level, the Demonborn may choose to enter a greater demonic form. He can choose to take this form whenever he start a rage, however doing so takes a move action rather than a free action. He not only gains the benefit of rage but also grows one size category larger, giving him a +2 size bonus to Strength and a -2 penalty to his Dexterity for as long as he maintains this rage. Items worn and held go up in size along with the Demonborn, they however go back to their original size when the effect ends or they leave the Demonborn’s possession. When this rage ends the Demonborn is exhausted instead of just fatigued
This ability replaces Greater Rage.
== Greater Shifting Demon (Su) ==
At 14th level, a Demonborn’s Shifting Demon ability grants his additional bonuses as noted below.
* Tartarus: The Demonborn gains a +2 untyped bonus to his Constitution score and immunity to disease.
* Abyss: The Demonborn gains a +2 untyped bonus to his Strength score and increases the damage die of all natural attacks by one step.
* Infernal: The Demonborn gains a +2 untyped bonus to his Dexterity score and see in darkness as per the universal monster rule.
This ability replaces Fearless Killer.
== Tireless Rage (Ex) ==
At 17th level, using Archfiend form no longer leaves the Demonborn exhausted, just fatigued.
This ability modifies Tireless Rage.
== True Fiend (Ex) ==
At 20th level, the demonic aspects fully merge into the Demonborn’s being. Firstly, he no longer needs to enter a rage to gain the effects of Demonic Form, as the effects are now permanently on. Secondly, it only takes him a swift action to take the Archfiend form and he needs not choose which instance of Shifting Demon they are using instead gaining the effects of all of them.
This ability replaces Mighty Rage
