Description

A Belt of Sudden Strength appears mostly unremarkable, although it is slightly wider and thicker than an average belt. It is made of a dark brown leather and features a large, well polished silver buckle that radiates faint Transmutation magic if detected.

Lore

These belts, while having limited use, have been instrumental in saving the lives of many warriors over the years. It is fairly common for an inexperienced adventurer to occasionally run into a foe a bit beyond him in power, and the sudden burst of physical prowess granted by this belt in exchange for some of the user's energy is considered a small price to pay when snatching victory from defeat.
