Appendix VI: Skill Books

This table lists two sample locations for each of the 90 Skill Books. Many of these books are in towns or notable dungeons, making them among the most easily accessible copies. As there are no further improvements to a skill when you find the same book again, it isn’t necessary to find them all. But there are more copies of each book out there in the wilds....
