There is a lot of "semi-published" stuff out there. Is there some easy way to get hold of it? Preferably a large bundle at once, since international transfer of money is quite expensive.

OK, each approach has its strengths and weaknesses.

STR is not a problem anyway, as it is trainable. There is no Enhance INT.
What I have in mind is this: the PCs are all from Perfe. As luck (and the GM) would have it, they are all in Riverjoin when Perfe is overrun. Two are apprentises of the same sorcerer. Some time after the defeat, the master calls for his apprentises. Their first adventure is finding him. When they find him, he is down quite a few points of INT due to Tap spells. He also knows no spells, since his matrices were taken from him, but he has very high skills, both in spells and the generic sorcery skills.
So he need to convince some Chalana Arroy priests to use their precious POW on him. He can offer POW in return, of course. CAs would find binding enchantments and MP matrixes just as useful as anybody else. But a point of generic sorcerer POW is not as waluable as a point of CA high healer POW. So he'll need something to bargain with. This will lead to more adventures for his apprentices. (He can of course also offer service. Enhance CON is very useful in a hospital.)
Is there a Deezola writeup anywhere? I assume she has Restore INT.
On second thought, I don't think sorcerous stat restoration would be a good idea. It would cheapen Tap.
