    In Appendix F, you have the un'IDed name of scrolls of education as ?, which i presume means unknown.

    In my experience, they almost always appear as:
    Code:
    scroll of education ....................... scroll labeled "MANNANNANMACLIR"
    Any idea what that string of characters means?

    In Celtic mythology, Manannán mac Lir is the god of the sea. He is often seen as a psychopomp, and considered to have strong connections to the Otherworld islands of the dead, as well as to weather and the mists between the worlds. He is usually counted as one of the Tuatha Dé Danann, although most scholars consider him to be of an older race of deities. He features, under slightly varying names, across early Irish, Scots, Welsh, and Manx myth.

    Have you tried it out when your strength is very high and/or at its potential maximum?

    Just did some quick testing on orc butcher corpses. Character was level 1, 27 str, 39 potential. Ate ~750 corpses, and managed to get my str to 40. I stopped there as I ran out of time, but it looks to me that orc butcher corpses always have a chance at increasing strength, but it's very low. To go from 39 to 40 took me around 150 corpses.

    "Choosing knowledge results in Guth'Alak teaching the PC the Herbalism skill (or Gardening, if Herbalism is already at 100)."
    My wizard had Herbalism at 50 (or 51/52?) and Guth'Alak taught me Gardening when I chose knowledge.

    I've also always been under the impression that choosing knowledge will teach Gardening if the player has Herbalism at any skill level.
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    I'll change that now, thanks. I never tested it myself.
