I new to the game. A couple of my stats are in the read (dexterity and perception). I am wondering how to get them back to normal. Using a practitioner to heal doesn't help. It raised my beauty stat, but not the other two.
perseption is probably from wearing a helmet, See your other equipments you might have a stat that is like -1DX like on your helmet it should say -1PE Very common on helmets, so if you don't want to suffer the -1PE find your self some eye where, not glasses but the ones that gives you +2PE.
welcome to the club! Watch out when you pick up unidentified objects! if the're hexed you'll know it. there is one sword that is in the sewers tarant that if a follower gets it he'll loose 2 to dex permanently! Better save often using different names at times i always like to save at each level BEFORE I add my cp, in case I change my mind. like bazooca4 said MOST helmets give you a minus to perception (if you think about it for a while you'll see why) Other items add to your stats and usually need to be ID'D before you can use them. Thats what the gypsys are for! Parmanian
That sewer sword will drop your DX too, not just your followers'. It is permanent & irrivocable. "Beware the Blackstone Blade, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch."
Stats in red means they've just been temporarily minused. Stas in green means they've been temporarily raised. Bandersnatch? Isn't that from Through the Looking Glass? I think it went :beware the juju bird, and the frumious bandersnatch.
As I remember it, the orignal couplett is; Beware the Jub Jub bird, And shun the Frumious Bandersnatch. Now where did I leave Alice? Darn, she has gotten away again.
