Just some bull**** cognitive biais against something labeled as "cheat something", that's all.
Well . . . I keep your UC suggestion in mind in case something worse happen . . . In the meantime, a - 1 armor/10 defl on a crusader isn't that much of a problem . . . (It's Trial of Iron, not The Ultimate). She's lvl 16 now and geared with already above 110 deflection even with that flaw, so . . .
Of course, if my precious main char Dieu-Sama the Eld Nary's Curse spreader Troubadour Captain end up having a perma Enfeebled or Miasma of Dull Mindness, i'll use the UC as you suggested.
Thanks !
