I've been having a bug too that I also think is related to the item.
My int won't go back down and keeps going up by 2...
Yeah, I'm guessing that what's happening is that both the Focus gain number and the intelligence are being repeatedly incremented once per encounter. The intelligence appears to cap out at 35 (at least, my Cipher isn't gaining any more than that), but I suspect that there wasn't a hard ceiling on what your focus gain could be, so the numerical field that stores the value is probably wrapping around or something and breaking things. If that's actually the case, then wearing it longer should theoretically make your Focus Gain return to normal values, but the Intelligence is still borked.
I have an idea of how to test this theory. When I get a chance, I'll perform the following test with a character whose intelligence is less than 35:
1). Record the intelligence value of the Cipher/Wizard/etc... before placing the Talisman on him/her.
2). Place the Talisman on the character
3). Enter combat
4). After combat, take off the Talisman
5). Record the intelligence value of the character afterwards. Is the value 2 higher than in step 1?

I have the same problem - the Talisman of the Unconquerable borked my Cipher. On the plus side, though, my Cipher now has 35 Intelligence, as it seems to have somehow affected that too.

Forgot to add my error logs to my previous post. Also, it's rather annoying to try to post a message in a support forum just to be told that my post will be need to be approved before being shown.
Thanks for your help!

I have the same problem as the original poster (crash to desktop after getting to the Kickstarter splash screen during startup). WIndows 7, 64 bit. 100% reproducability.
I found this forum post from during beta that outlined the exact same problem, but the suggested resolution actions (deleting "corrupted" windows fonts) did not work for me.
Also, see this external post on seemingly the same issue.

Yeah, it happened pretty much exactly as I predicted:
1). My Fighter Fenric has 19 Intelligence to start off with. http://i.imgur.com/Ng33mKZ.jpg
2). When I put the Talisman on, this is raised to 21. http://i.imgur.com/BmXaxza.jpg
3). During the next fight (I'm not sure exactly when this happens), his Intelligence was raised by 4, so he now has 25 Intelligence. http://i.imgur.com/Y0XBlpf.jpg
4). I took the Talisman off, leaving him with 23 Intelligence. http://i.imgur.com/DpfwS5K.jpg
This, my friends, is what we call a bug.
