Family: Headband of the Theorist

You wouldn't think a headband made of sackcloth would be at all comfortable. And you would be right. This thing is clingy, absorbs sweat without wicking it away from your skin, and is scratchy even in the best of conditions. It's also pretty unattractive, with scraggly edges and a little fraying here and there. However, staring at it closely, you can faintly detect a glittering resonance within it, suggesting it contains power that might make it worth wearing, nonetheless.

Wearing this headband grants the wearer greater expertise with a single skill. Headbands such as this are prized by laborers, cooks, and those still learning the ropes of their trade.

Since the bonus granted by the headband of the theorist is an Enhancement Bonus, it cannot be stacked with other skill-boosting items boosting the same skill; instead, only the highest available boost is added to a given skill. You can, however, have multiple skill boosting items that affect different skills.

While worn, this headband grants the wearer a +8 Enhancement Bonus to a single skill, chosen at the time the headband is acquired. Once selected, the skill affected by the headband cannot be changed, even through the Reselection process. Instead, a new headband must be purchased.

In addition, the headband also grants a +8 Enhancement Bonus to the wearer's Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability scores (which results in a +4 to the ability modifier of each). This does not stack with any other sources of Enhancement Bonus to those ability scores (such as a Diadem of Deep Design); instead, only the highest available bonus is applied to those stats.

The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
