Hello Everyone! 
Here I am, presenting a new fighter kit with an interesting potential.
RUNESCARRED BERSERKER
Deadly barbarians who bear magical runes carved into their flesh, Runescarred Berserkers are among the most feared of Rashemen's defenders. They are loyal body guards to the hathrans of the land and stand ready to unleash a storm of martial fury at a single word from any Witch.
CLASS FEATURES
Enrage
During 60 seconds , they have +2 bonus to damage and -2 bonus to armor class and thaco and +15 hit points. They are also immune fear, charm, hold, maze, imprisonment, and sleep. But after this effect ends, they lose the hitpoints given by the ability, which may kill the berserker and will becomed winded, which gives a +2 penalty to armor class and THACO and -2 penalty to damage.
Runescarring
A Runescarred Berserker knows a number of runescars equal to the amount shown on the table above. A runescar is a means of storing a spell, much like a scroll. The berserker knows only a limited number of spells with which to imbue runescars, selected from the runescarred berserker spell list below.
All runescar spells target only the runescarred berserker and a Runescarred Berserker can only have 7 scars scribed at a time.
The act of scribing a runescar is painful and deals damage, according to its level.
(lvl 1 - 10 dmg, lvl 2 - 12 dmg, lvl 3 - 16 dmg, lvl 4 - 20 dmg, all damage bypass resistances)
Then the runescar's magic is discharged, the rune fades to nothing but a faint outline. Typically, a berserker's skin is crisscrossed with dozens of old, discharged runescars.
Ritual scarring
Through frequent disfiguration of her own skin, a runescarred berserker gains 5% resistance vs slashing damage.
- At 1st level: gains Enrage, usable once per day. Additional uses are gained at 10 and 20 levels.
- At 3rd level: gains Runescar lvl1, 1 use per day
- At 6th level: Runescar lvl1, 2 uses per day
- At 8th level: gains Runescar lvl2, 1 use per day
- At 11th level: Runescar lvl2, 2 uses per day
- At 13th level: gains Runescar lvl3, 1 use per day
- At 15th level: gains Ritual Scarring
- At 16th level: Runescar lvl3, 2 uses per day
- At 18th level: gains Runescar lvl4, 1 use per day

All runes will have a normal duration, not that little 5 rounds which was useless.
Runescarred berserker will be limited to chainmail, but can put *** into weapons.
Damage from scars will be changed to 1d6 per spell level.
Class will be limited to humans and half-orcs
And I'm seriously thinking about 5 lvl spells as an HLA
(the're Heal, Polymorf Self and Antimagic Field)
What do you think?
I look forward to seeing the finished article!
Is it casting time 0 for all his spells?
Or do I cast the spell just as an innate and receive the damge when casting it?
The Kit sounds really nice.
