Fixing the door with a steely glare, Cody backed up as far as the narrow passageway would allow. With a stifled shout, he flung himself at the door, lowering his shoulder once again and driving it at the unyielding barrier. And indeed, once again, it failed to yield. Cody stood, supported by the door, for a moment. Finally he let out a single, agonized gasp, and sank to the floor, clutching at his battered shoulder.
The underlying mechanic behind attribute exercise/abuse works via an in-game check around every 1,000 turns. If you are saving your game often (say, playing only one turn a day) these checks will not be triggered.
