(Spoilers for Act 1)

I’m planning to take on Auntie Ethel early to get her to trade her hair for the +1 stat boost, but I got to thinking, do I need to save using it until my stat is already at 20? I know this can boost it over 20, and ideally the level system would recognize it and account for it, but I don’t want to risk it and get boned when I go to stat increase at level 8.

    The buff persists across stat increases.

    You don’t see it in the level-up-screen, but it’s applied afterwards.

    It’s easy to test:

    Make a save, Withers, eat the hair, level up.

    Is there another +1 buff in the game? Because 20 and 21 are effectively the same.

      Every point of strength increases carry weight. Every point of charisma decreases shop costs. Not sure about the other stats but those two aren’t entirely useless at an odd number.

        I think jump distance benefits from odd strength to too, though I’m not 100% sure on that.
