Immagine your a hero of terrinoth, and you need some upgraded stats to be played in an upgraded version of a game.  Seems ridiculous right?  NO IT ISN'T!  You need to defeat more monsters and do more quests and kill more enemies, and you want to do it in a smaller time frame.  In descent 1 your just roaming around... killing stuff mercilessly for about, say what?  6 - 10 hours if your a serious hero like me?  But all your friends are like, hey, I have a life and don't have time to kill stuff for that long and I want more real goals that aren't, say:  "Hey we need to kill some big monster."  Well...  If you want to have a better quest for everybody all around, and finish said quest in less than an hour and a half and are still a hero of descent 1, this little power-up is for you.  Take forth from the local tavern and quest once more!  After three quests, I am convinced that the rewards are worth the investment.
