UPDATE: How Characters are Scalped

Under the section: “How Characters are Scalped”

*ORIGINAL*

The act of scalping is done to simulate the mutilation of a corpse to
the point where it cannot be revived by normal Raise Dead spells. In
order to scalp a body, you must strike 200 blows on the ground beside
the body of the character being scalped. More than one person may
scalp a body at a time. More than one weapon may be used to scalp a
body as well. This effectively divides the number of blows to be
struck between the number of participants and number of weapons used.
Some monsters and characters under certain spells may require more
scalping blows to completely destroy. If you strike 200 blows and the
victim says, “The job is not yet done,” then the scalping is not yet
complete. Some spells, such as Acid Potion and Eviscerate , may
accelerate the act of scalping.

RATIONALE

There is no spell called ACID POTION.

SUMMARY

This does not change any game mechanics.
