Books - Skill

Skill books are books in Kingdom Come: Deliverance that Henry can read to improve his various skills and stats.

Every skill book series has 4 volumes - from 1 to 4 - which require an increasingly high skill level to read, and give an increasingly high amount of experience. Reading a skill book grants the same amount of experience as a same-level trainer's training.
