[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5684062, member: 57383"] Well we haven't decided for sure how much Con damage the turban imposes, or how much SR it provides for that matter. Secondly, if it costs more than an average of 2.5 Con per day, it just means it needs multiple items of [I]lesser restoration[/I]. If its 5 Con/day it will want two 1/day items. Furthermore, if the host can easily take off the turban, only wearing it when they want to go adventuring or the like, they could probably get away with a [I]wand of lesser restoration[/I] or the like. Finally, investing XP in magic items is well known to have a "positive feedback" effect - with the items allowing their owner to gain XP faster than they cost them to manufacture. The above seems functionally equivalent to a Con penalty, only more fiddly, so why not just go for the penalty? Oh, and didn't the original monster's description say a Vizier's Turban [I]couldn't[/I] die from starvation? We'd better include that in its writeup somewhere. [/QUOTE]
