[QUOTE="dontpunkme, post: 2152511, member: 17938"] Ok, I'll explain the situation fairly briefly, I play the party fighter, my friend the party barbarian. As part of a treasure we found a Manual of Gainful Exercise. The player for the barbarian instantly claims the book, to which I scoff and claim my ownership to. I cite the reason being that since he is a barbarian and has never spent any skill points in literacy, he is thus unable to read the book and therefore cannot use the item (same as if he tried claiming a wand). He insists his barbarian could figure out what was going on by studying any pictures or diagrams (He does have a Wis 14 and Int 12 so he isn't a complete moron, but then again he isn't exactly Stephen Hawking, either). Our DM (who states that he has no idea how this one works) and the rest of the party don't really care one way or the other who gets the book, so long as we keep any arguments off the table. We both decided the easiest way to settle this was a quick debate from non-biased sources. Thus we leave it up to you. [/QUOTE]
