Eater of the Dead

Skill that converts eaten corpses into random permanent boosts to constitution, strength, or dexterity.

Story so far

Granted at level 10 by Katia's Enchanted Spiked Knee Pads of the Munificent Goddess Kina, Eater of the Dead works like Iron Stomach but with corpses instead of magical items — which Carl finds even more disgusting. The bodies must exceed a certain mass threshold that decreases as the skill levels up, and considerably more of them must be consumed than magical items to raise a stat.

Unlike Iron Stomach, which reliably raises intelligence, Eater of the Dead raises constitution, strength, or dexterity at random.

Role

A corpse-consumption skill granting randomized permanent physical stat gains.
