Bear: The Bear berserk affect is Hitroll+15, Damroll+15, which is not as good as the actual skill.

Badger: The Badger boost is HP+1 per level. So at level 91 it gives you Hp+91. It also has the same chance that Irrisina's Fiery Rage gives you to live below HP 0%, which can be VERY cool.

Astrology has pros and cons. It has two affects (although both don’t always work- if the skill % isn’t high enough neither might), a very, very long timer, and it’s a skill affect not a spell affect so it can’t be dispelled. The first affect is based on the month you are born in, the second is based on the day. When someone casts astrology on you, there is a chance that you will get one or the other or possibly both of the two possible effects from your birth sign. This can be dangerous if the affect is berserk, because astrology lasts a long time and cannot be dispelled.

Some people are very careful and create during the signs that they want in order to get the astrological signs that they prefer.

There is also an astrologer in Tome who will cast it on you for a price.
