Is a room where you get the message "The walls are lined with bookshelves that disappear" -1 St and +1 Le? Or something like that?

I've never noticed a change before, but today I happen to be carrying enough stuff to be right next to 'burdened', and I went burdened twice after going into 2 of these these rooms in the ID. I didn't really keep track of what my stats were before I hit the rooms, so I am making an assumption. :-/

Those are pretty annoying for fighter type characters but it can help casters with already-low strenght attribute since it's easily trainable.

Sometimes these rooms seem to appear everywhere, I remember one time when I stumbled upon one like third time.... losing 1 strenght point isnt bad but 3 hits hard.

Just -1 St, no Le bonus. Very annoying when exploring the ID.

Sorry, now you are wrong. It's + 1Le also.

It's weird I get it sometimes : "The walls of this room are made of many small stones of uniform height; they almost look like shelves of books."

And sometimes was happy of the +1 Le but never noticed the -1 St.

That's not the same message - that room effect improves book reading. The stat-altering effect is something like "The walls are covered by images of bookshelves and comfortable chairs. Suddenly the images disappear!"

I guess it works out since St is much easier to train unless you're a troll. I have a human monk and I'm at the CoC levels where I'm encountering a lot of Hill Giants and stuff like that, so I'll get it back. I hit my 2 right after picking up the 'very light' corruption, so I have a very different looking character than I had before.

I must have encountered dozens of those rooms during my games of ADOM and I never noticed it. I only picked it up now because I wasn't carrying the Si and my burdened status changed.
