The scroll of heroism grants a temporary combat boost. A cursed copy is identified as a scroll of cowardliness and drains one experience level.
Effects and interactions
| BUC state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Grants heroism for 2 through 6 duration units. |
| Uncursed | Grants heroism for 1 through 5 duration units. |
| Cursed | Ends existing heroism and drains one experience level, potentially killing the reader. |
An uncursed scroll grants heroism for 1 through 5 duration units; a blessed copy grants 2 through 6. While heroic, Dexterity contributes to hit, Strength to damage, Agility to defense, and speed is halved. A cursed scroll ends any existing heroism and drains one experience level, which can kill a weakened reader.
The scroll identifies itself in every BUC state. Heroism wears off over time, and combat values return to normal when it expires.
Strategy
Use heroism immediately before a meaningful sequence of fights to exploit its time-limited combat bonuses. A blessed copy guarantees at least two duration units. Never test an unknown copy when a one-level drain could be fatal.
