Books

Books are pre-war repositories of the knowledge that ended the world as they knew it, ready to teach you the skills you'll need to survive what's left.

Basic facts

• All skill books provide a (4 + INT) skill-point bonus and are consumed on use.

• Normally, one character can only use up to 10 of each type of book. However, the Learning skill allows you to bypass that limit: increase it to its cap (200/200) and it'll let you read an additional copy of the book you've already read 10+ times. Doing so will reset your Learning skill to 0, allowing you to repeat the process as many times as you like.

• Rerolling refunds any books the character has read.

• Temporary/conditional increases to your Intelligence stat, such as from drugs or armor perks, allow you to get additional skill points from reading books.

• Books weigh 3123g and have a base cost of 2500 currency units.
