I've added one more adventuring skill to the list to choose from for Thranconia: BIBILIOPHILE
BIBLIOPHILE: a skill roll allows the detection of book worms in “wormy” books. A skill roll allows the character to appraise the fair resale value of non-magic books found on adventure. Unskilled mages and clerics can attempt these tasks, but it is a 1d100 INT check. The herb vermifuge is the only treatment for book worms.
If you bring a wormy book into your possession, it will destroy all carried scrolls, books and maps within 1 hour.
This skill is of major interest to Magic-Users, of course, but also to Clerics who use spell books in this version of the game (and even Thieves can acquire and use scrolls which are subject to book worm attacks.). The search of wormy books described in the first version of "Random Dungeon Maker" is now replaced with these rules.
