A Cloak of Epic Charisma +10 is worth a cool million GP on the open market, but what if it were "cursed" with a major drawback? I plan to introduce into my campaign one which is tube-like in shape and which, when donned, tightly affixes itself to the wearer's upper body, pinning his/her arms uselessly to his/her sides. The cloak still grants a +10 enhancement bonus to Charisma, but without the use of one's arms or hands, there is precious little one can do with it (no spells with somatic components, no playing instruments, etc.)!
To not be too evil, I am allowing it to be removed normally by another character, but the wearer is mostly helpless until s/he receives such a helping hand. I consider the cloak a major treasure regardless, but don't think it would be worth anywhere near full market price due to its aforementioned restrictions.
My question is, how much would you think such a cursed item is worth (I'm thinking ~1/30th of the normal listed value of a Cloak of Epic Charisma +10, to put it at the value of a Cloak of Charisma +6)?
