Ess-- Omg, this is the most helpful response I've ever had on a forum--and I'm an old-school gamer as well as being old, so I've read and posted on many forums, lol! I'm printing this and will read and re-read it a couple of times to let everything sink in. THANK YOU so much!! And Randomizer, thank you too for the follow-up on actual trainers, 😁. You guys are the best!!

Just read a post on Gog.com forum that said to train you have to go to towns that have a building for that purpose--the first such being on a road west of Fort Avernum (haven't gone west so far, just north to explore)? I'll travel there next, but boy am I confused so far(e.g., is this special building for a different kind of training than reading a book??--guess I'll find out!).

Um, so I eagerly walked into the Chance Temple in Formello to buy an 'Improve Smite' book for my priest. Once purchased, same thing. ....no chair, walked around looking for 'a specific place' to trigger the book. Nada. Again have no idea what I should do or whether I got something for my money. Either I'm a little dumber than I should be or this process is a little more obscure than it needs to be.

Thank you very much--that really really helps, lol!

Hi-- Searching here and Steam I see lots of posts/arguments about order and levels of trainers/spell books. Just at level 5/6 and ran across trainer Vermees in Formello who has two books. My question is more basic: how do I USE them? Are you supposed to read them? I can't find them in my inventory anywhere. If they're automatic, what do they DO? I see zero change in my stats. For my blademaster/melee book does it increase crit chance, percentage to hit, damage? No idea, nothing I can find anywhere. I've spent around 1700, but how do I know what I'm getting? Don't see anything about training in F1/Help. Also, as soon as my berserker takes a melee action he's fatigued. What do I do about that? Again, nothing in Help about fatigue. Looking through posts before buying the game think I saw something about gear that reduces fatigue but don't remember where I saw it and haven't run across any such gear yet. Thanks.
