📋 About This Mod
It has come to my attention that these books have been included in some random loot tables. While this was an oversight on my part I have decided not to address it at this point because I think a little RNG can be fun. If the drops are too common please submit a bug report and I will weigh out the options between increasing the Rarity or eliminating from loot tables all together.
This is not a cheat mod.
There are only 1 of each type of tome/manual.
I will not add more, or add any to the tut chest, there are plenty of other mods to set your ASI scores as high as you like.
This is meant to be balanced and immersive.
Each Tome is marked as Rare (blue) so that they are harder to miss.
Tomes CAN be permanently missed!
They are quite expensive. Expect a low CHA character to pay 1600-1800 to a vendor.
Yes, they will work above 20
