Talk:Berserk
From Discworld MUD Wiki
Cursory examination suggests that berserk lasts a number of seconds equal to the GP invested, up to a maximum of your bonus in fighting.special.tactics. Below are the admittedly few measurements I bothered to take, using MUSHclient's timestamps for the "You suddenly feel eight foot tall [...]" and "Your berserker rage departs you[...]" messages. Durations are in seconds.
Start TS | Expire TS | Duration | GP Expended | fi.sp.ta bonus |
---|---|---|---|---|
58:55 | 00:16 | 81 | 79 | 215 |
52:09 | 54:49 | 160 | 160 | 215 |
52:46 | 56:24 | 216 | 320 | 215 |
00:03 | 04:00 | 237 | 321 | 236 |
- | - | ~350 | 446 | 352 |
My fi.sp.ta bonus at the time was 215. Allowing for rounding and measuring error, it looks pretty clear-cut. I'll test again sometime, as the 216 could conceivably have been coincidental. Iago 10:51, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
