| + | ===== What The Underworld Can Restore ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A journey through Praetoseba and back to the land of the living can undo some of what death and time have taken from you, but not all of it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **What it can restore** | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Some or all of your lost Constitution. | ||
| + | - A point of one of your other attributes, if any are below what your character could normally recover. Stat potions remain the main way to recover the rest. | ||
| + | - Some lost maximum health, if your character is below the health they could normally recover. | ||
| + | - Some of your youth. An aged character may return younger than they left. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **What it keeps safe** | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Your maximum health, stamina, and mana, and your skills, are held as they were when you entered. They are returned to you when you leave. | ||
| + | - Skill progress cannot be made while you are in the Underworld. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **What it cannot restore** | ||
| + | |||

| + | - Maximum health beyond what your character could normally recover. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **What it costs** | ||

| + | - Anything you pick up in the Underworld stays there when you leave. | ||
| + | - Leaving the Underworld may have its own requirements. Not everyone who enters finds the way back easily. | ||
