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 stateResult
BlessedGrants heroism for 2 through 6 duration units.
UncursedGrants heroism for 1 through 5 duration units.
CursedEnds 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.
