Swole

Carl's permanent Strength-100 upgrade doubles every Strength point assigned through future level-ups.

Story so far

Reaching base Strength 100 gives Carl three timed choices. Prison Bitch would add twenty-percent hand-to-hand Strength against weaker foes, while Stepson would give foot attacks a fifteen-percent chance to inflict the staggering Ouch effect.

Mordecai and Katia recommend Swole for long-term growth. Carl chooses it despite Donut's preference for the foot option, causing all future level-up stat points assigned to Strength to grant two points instead of one.

Appearance

A permanent system upgrade accompanied by visible swelling of Carl's arms and chest.

Role

Swole commits Carl to superior long-term Strength scaling beyond the hundred-point milestone.

Relationships

Carl — He selects the upgrade permanently.
Mordecai — Mordecai identifies it as the obvious strategic choice.
Princess Donut — She argues unsuccessfully for Stepson instead.
