Hey Larry, Can I Borrow Your Chainsaw?

Borrowed Skill Achievement

Achievement for killing with a borrowed skill, rewarding a box whose name sent Mordecai into research frenzy.

Story so far

Awarded to Carl for using a borrowed skill or spell in battle and killing an opponent with it. The announcement enthuses that this opens up a whole new possibility of fighting styles, then adds the cryptic advice: just keep those tattoos above the knee.

The reward is a "Platinum Have You Goddamned Figured Out How to Use This In Conjunction with the Fucking Voodoo Book Yet? Jesus Christ I Can Only Help You So Much" box, containing a skill potion that lifted Carl's Pugilism to 15 on its own. The box's name sent Mordecai and Rosetta into a flurry of research, and even Zev remarked she had never heard of such blatant hand-holding from the AI.

Role

Achievement whose reward box amounts to the system openly coaching Carl.

Relationships

Carl — Recipient of the achievement and the skill potion.
Mordecai — Thrown into research by the box's name.
Rosetta — Researching alongside Mordecai.
Zev — Never heard of the AI hand-holding so blatantly.
