The Font of Useless Knowledge

[Huw]

- The famous rules lawyer Phermadt has claimed to have developed the optimum character build, which includes two levels of commoner. Sadly, he did not have space to write the character sheet down in the margin of the book he was reading, and rules lawyers ever since have been trying to reproduce it.

• It takes 2.345 dwarven war-axes put down together in a perfect circle to surround the Great Secret Temple of Velsharoon.
• Halfling urine mixed with peppermint glows in the dark.
• 20 consecutive hours of hopping backwards will grant you XP sufficient to advance from level 1 to level 2.
• The Tarrasque is afraid of its reflection in a mirror and will attack mirrors on sight.
• Most of these facts have been researched by Malvor, a human that had been reincarnated as an elf, and after 100 years, was bored out of his head.

-Anyone that stares into a large mirror long enough without blinking can see their mirror opposite on the other side, taunting them. Drinking large quantities of alcohol shortens the length of time one must stare into the mirror.

-A cockatrice can be cooked into a stew that, when consumed, grants the imbiber immunity to a cockatrice's petrification for 1 hour. It also will make the imbiber exhausted , no save allowed, and cause their skin to turn dusty grey, much like stone, for 1 day.
(ok so that might be borderline useless. But anything that encourages players to mess with petrifying animals is gonna be fun )

- The cockatrice can cure erectile dysfunction. Sort of.
