Author Shassatull, phrenic scourge, LE; Language Undercommon. DESCRIPTIONWritten in a guttural, staccato form
of verse, this nauseating text actually was intended
as a cookbook for phrenic scourges. Contrary to its
author’s intentions, the manual reveals a collection
of unusual anecdotes regarding the phrenic scourges’
culture and society. Written on parchment, bound in humanoid skin and penned in blood, the macabre manual reinforces
common perceptions about these abhorrent
creatures. Because the manual proves extremely
difficult to properly interpret, only twenty-three
copies are known to exist. A metal buckle and leather strap is used to hold the vile tome closed. The reader receives a +4 insight bonus to saving throws against phrenic scourge attacks. MISINTERPRETATIONMisinterpretation The reader receives a -2 insight penalty to all saving throws against phrenic scourges. Gross Misinterpretation The reader receives a -4 insight penalty to all saving throws against phrenic scourges. |
