[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7146046, member: 12731"] Here's the item and its (full) description: Dragon [B]Leather Armor +1[/B] [I]Clearly made by foes of Dragons, you understand and speak Draconic, allows you to use Charisma in place of Dexterity.[/I] First off, no it isn't an official item (found it online), so there is no page reference or "RAW" to worry about. Second, yes, I realize that purely from an AC perspective, this is no better than regular Studded Leather. The third property can be as restrictive as we please, but what if it simply is unrestricted and instead the item is cursed? Unrestricted to me means you can use your Cha modifier for [B]everything[/B] you normally use Dex for: initiative, AC, skill checks, Dex saves etc. And the "allows" means you get to choose when and where to do this. While this doesn't break bounded accuracy, it allows several builds to ignore Dexterity (do note that all characters are already generated, however), or more to the point, that any Sorcerer or Paladin etc can suddenly compete with the regular Dex Gods (finesse fighters, rogues etc) which can be quite intrusive as it is. And so I turn to ENWorld :) What would be a neat curse on this particular item...? [/QUOTE]
