Also pp. 42-43 of HW:RiG and a look at the errata for that page. I think that Roderick's statement about berzerks fighting below 0 AP is also important. Now if Roderick would answer Wulf's question about how a zombie (or NPC berserker) with less than 0 AP can bid AP, we'd (those of us on this list) probably be set.

My house rule is that zombies and berserkers continue to bid as much as they want at nonpositive AP levels, subject to the initial ability rating cap.

I'm still not happy with berserkers who are at negative AP levels not transferring AP when losing. I can live with this, to a certain degree, as a creepy undead effect, but it bothers me with mortal berserkers.

Later,
