Quaffing a potion of degeneration temporarily reduces a random stat (strength, dexterity, or intelligence) by 1-4 points. This can be dangerous (although not directly fatal) for species with very low stats, since reaching zero or less in a stat will cause stat zero penalties. For most species, the lost stats will recover over time, but you can immediately restore them by quaffing a potion of restore abilities. Xom is somewhat amused if you quaff an unidentified potion of degeneration, but this is almost impossible to do intentionally.
There was something very wrong with that liquid!
History
- Prior to 0.13, having a stat reduced to 0 could cause stat death. This was replaced by the stat zero penalties.
