    you just need to have them in your inventory friend, they increase your skill in the tech field useful to make items from bought schematics

    So I don't have to read them or put them into that hand thing? Can I put it in one of my followers inventory and still gain those skills?

    Tech books and followers...

    No you can't give them to a follower and still have them work, you have to have them on you to get the effect.

    Books +1?

    Zewy: What books are you referring to? The Tech manuals give you more than one point for the tech they name. I don't remember running across any other books that adjust tech skills.

    In the database files, +1 means +10 expertise, I think...

    I think...

    Tech manuals give the owner his INT points in the given knowledge : If you have INT 13 then 3 Chemistry manuals will give you +39 in Chemistry.

    Character points give you 10 points and a new scematic.

    My two cents.....

    the books can be found at the university yes. accually there is a quite interesting bug there. when you don't have enough cash to buy them you can still buy them with a combination of speech, and have endless amounts of books, kinda stupid

    Another question. If I purchase the book, is there another one available or is this the only copy?

    More than one book...

    Yes, you can get more than one Manual in order to boost a skill to the point you need it. I had to buy four electical manuals at one point.

    there is also the charger ring in the electrical field: each ring gives +2DEX to the wearer as long as they at the fingers!
    with 2 rings you get +4DEX! and it's just a second level schematic with basic components!
    you can equip all your party and get them really better at fighting (and yourself much better at all those DEX-related skills!)
    I have tried on Virgil and it gived him only +1DEX (and certainly nothing on a better magician...)
    I have got now Sogg Mead equipped with 2 of these rings and a really big sword: that IS a really good combination!
    one of the best point is that it allow you to raise dodge, melee and the other DEX-skills without having to raise DEX with CP...

    Are there any items or blessings that can raise your stats above the racial limit.
    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Also if I was already a master in a skill that gets raised by a blessing then will those points still be made valid for example: Master of melee (+5) and velorians blessing (+3) = +8

    And when velorian gives you his blessing does the part about +3 firearms affect your apptitude

    What does it mean when the sacredchalice blessing says "Effect [8]

    Thankyou again and for the site it is very informative

    Arcane: I try looking at the effect.mes, just like Zewy, but I can't find number 8. Until I can find what will the effect be, I just put in a keyword.

    Zula: I'm suppose to make a form so that everybody can send me e-mail but I school just started and there is little time for me left in playing Arcanum. Until then, you can send me PMs here. Or maybe I will re-direct it to my for at my personal site.
