Banned book
banned book
Plural: banned books
This singularly distasteful title, How to Scam Friends and Extort People, has been on the banned books list for decades. This copy is old and worn, and looks like it's been passed around quite a bit (or maybe just repeatedly stolen, with a title like that.)
Miscellaneous Item
Autosell value: 20
Usable
Gives your sidekick understudy a new skill.
How Obtained
- All foes
- All foes
First time:
Your understudy spends some time with the manual, learning all of the best arm-twisting, guilt-inducing, and intimidation techniques designed to get the most money from your target. Of course your understudy would never use this on anyone but criminals. Extorting regular citizens would be wrong, but extorting bad guys ... two wrongs totally make a right, right? Your sidekick learns a role: Extortionist.
Subsequent times:
Your understudy already knows this skill. Even an expert extortionist can't squeeze more knowledge from a book they've already mastered.
During the Cat and Mick-y Mouse Game quest:
Your kidnapped sidekick isn't available for training right now. The whole being kidnapped thing, you know.
