Stool of Hill Giant Strength

The Stool of Hill Giant Strength is an interactable item on the top floor of the Arcane Tower, under the thatched roof.

You feel a surge of strength as you approach the chair - a curious effect.

Initially knocked over onto its side, the stool can be thrown and moved upright so it can be sat on. Characters who sit on the Stool of Hill Giant Strength gain Hill Giant's Might, a condition that sets their strength to 21. The character who sits on the stool will comment about feeling powerful while sitting on it, then note that the power is gone when they stand up.

Destroying the stool yields the Club of Hill Giant Strength, a club that raises your strength to 19 as long as you are wielding it.
