The metal-bound manual of bodily health appears to be an arcane, rare, but nonmagical book. If power perception is used, the manual will radiate an aura of magic. Any character who reads the work (24 hours of time over 3-5 days) will know how to increase his Constitution—this involves a special dietary regimen and breathing exercises over a one-month period. The book disappears immediately upon completion of its contents. The amount of increase depends upon current CON, as indicated below.
Current Stat | Amount Raised |
15 or lower | +3 |
16-23 | +2 |
24 or higher | +1 |
The point of Constitution is gained only after the prescribed regimen is followed. In three months the knowledge of the secrets to bodily health will be forgotten. The knowledge cannot be articulated or recorded by the reader. The manual will not be useful to any character a second time, nor will more than one character be able to benefit from a single copy. |
