Summon Berserkers: What do you get?


Summon Berserkers, a terribly useful spell in ACKS when you need a 4-pack of single HD creatures to sacrifice horribly.

One of the kids in the kid's campaign has this spell, so why not make a table? This started off marginally serious, wanting to be a swords & sorcery & planets theme, but quickly fell into cartoon references and the like.
