Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheLe" data-source="post: 2260924" data-attributes="member: 3981">Thanks!Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I have made the changes you suggested. Here is the new and hopefully final draft:Cloak of UglinessThis Cloak flickers with a green, red, and blue glow normally, but this glow ends when it is worn. As long as the owner is wearing this cloak, his face will become deformed and grotesque, effectively imposing a –4 penalty to all charisma checks and charisma-based skill checks. However, all is not lost. Three times per day as a standard action, the wearer of this Cloak may attempt a Ugly Strike (Su) with a touch attack. Upon a successful strike, the recipient of the strike takes 1-point of temporary charisma damage, which lasts for two hours, while the wearer of the cloak gains a +1 bonus to all charisma checks and charisma-based skill checks for the same duration. While this charisma bonus stacks with itself, a given creature may only be affected by this Strike once per two hours.If the wearer of the Cloak of Ugliness is 7th level or higher, his Ugly Strike will deal 2 points of ability damage rather than 1, but his charisma bonus does not change.Furthermore, as the wearer becomes more seasoned, he will be able to use this Ugly Strike to deal ability damage to other attributes, but doing so will still only grant him charisma bonuses. If the wearer misses an Ugly Strike, that attempt will have been used up for the day.Using Ugly Strike cannot cause an ability score to drop below 1.The following chart describes the type of abilities that can be drained, and the minimum level required for it.Table: Ugly Strike Level/Ability1    Charisma3    Strength6    Intelligence7    +2 ability damage9    Wisdom12    Dexterity16    ConstitutionI realize that my items are a bit unorthodox in nature, but I am really trying to re-invent the wheel here. And I really like scaling things up so that the players have something to keep for longer periods of time. It's a slow process...~Le</blockquote>
