Books of ___

Is the description correct, 10 levels in ONE class before you can use it, rather than character levels?

How close to a bind point do you have to be? Does it have to be a "home" point, or do Ave & FD count?

Do the stats apply as permanent changes to base stats, or as permanent magical additions like job bonuses do/did (haven't done jobs since the wipe, TC only)?

thanks

i have used one.

i believe it is 10 char lvls..although i was 10 straight in the class i used it.

it is a permanent stat increase that goes to your base..very cool cutscene then you get auto reloged by the server...only thing was that it unequiped some of my equipment.

you can be at any bind point..as long as ur bound there. i walked into avendell inn, bound, then used the book...then i had to relvl my girl because she dropped back down to lvl 9.

just be wary of the xp cost as it will delvl you.

It is not a base stat increase. It is a bonus stat increase that is permanent, not unlike stat increases for RDD. You have to have 10 levels total.

By base I mean white stats where the changes show @ levelup... as opposed to green stuff that doesn't affect feats, skill points, etc.

It is a green stat increase

Edit*
I stand corrected, I could have sworn when I used mine the increase was green.

Books are a white increase that do not count against the +12 enhancement maximum.

Kick butt.

That's also going to help people get epic feats (Rage, Dodge, etc) sooner.

omg
i want some.
give them to me, now.

Is there a limit to the number you can use?

for example, say i had 30 or 40 of these things... (i dont... yet)

Well, they are artifacts, so good luck stockpiling them for a single character, and no, books for a specific stat don't stack over and over.

So you may only use a certain specific book on one character once?

Yes, for example, if you use, lets say, a +2 DEX book on yourself. Bam, you now have +2 DEX. If you were to come across another +2 DEX book, it would have no effect on you. You can still use books for other stats however, and it is rumored there are even more powerful books available, which would overwrite a bonus from a previous book.

And yes, books are consumed upon use. Any book can only be used once ever.

Ah, I was wondering if there was a limit on how often books can be used. The pnp rules limit book stat boosting to no more than +5 total over a character's lifetime for balance purposes, and it's good to know there's some limit in place here.
