Necromancy of Thay

I passed all 3 skill checks as a eldritch knight but did not get a perma spell or a perma buff like my friend who was playing wizard. Do fighters just not get it from the book?

[SnowyJon]

did you friend possibly also read another particular book found in act three that is related to that book?

we figured it out, i did get the forbidden knowledge passive but I didn't see it becaause i assuemd it showed up next to loviaters love.

I read the book, passed all checks, can speak to undead and got the forbidden knowledge perk. But the questlog says, I didn't read the whole book and need to find a way to finish it. I'm still in Act 1, will the quest continue later on or am I missing something?

I think you can get more out of this one, at end of reward, someone said you can summon 6 powerful ghoat. but I had not tried that, I had 3 level but book shut even I had overcome all dice rolls. I think you had to go city of baldur's gate 3 to unlock futher. Best pick up book with you, I think, do not lost or sell it, better yet maybe sent to camp storage for safe keeping.

Same situation here. I thought perhaps a bug because I don't recall the hint of more to come after reading the book in EA but I get that now. I also have the Amulet that grants the same ability...

Quest continues in, you guessed it, Baldur's Gate proper. Try a Magic shop maybe

You're supposed to gain the Speak With Dead spell after passing all 3 checks.

Later in Act 3, you find another book which teaches you how to safely read the tome, and should give you the power to summon 6 ghouls after passing a final skill check.

so you no longer can give the book for Gale to consume? My Gale is in a bad way and I dont want to give him any of my gear, what to do, I was waiting to get the Gem so I can read maybe a page and than just give Gale the book to consume as part of hes illness

What has Larin done?!!

[Loneshade]

odd, I've not seen anyone mention that yet:
my draconian-sorcerer-bard had the option to "have the book reveal its nature", and then to calm the book. After the last check, it says the book is now "just parchments but the magic is gone" or something along the line. I still got the buff and speak to the dead.

Wonder if that makes any difference later on?

How are you so short on gear by that point? Just give him a crappy green ring and he'll be fine. He only ever asks for three bits of gear

Did you end up seeing any difference? I did the same as a bard but I'm not sure if I want to reload :/

You'd be crazy to give him the book over some rubbish amulet or ring. I didn't even know it showed up as an option.
