Family: Headband of the Savant

This stunning peacemetal headband looks more like a high lord's (or lady's) tiara than any sort of sweat-catching workout attire. Shaped into the appearance of an elaborate and symmetric knotwork, the headband has some heft to it, despite being comprised entirely of wire made of the most lightweight dweomermetal known. Each junction of the knotwork is adorned with fine rubies and diamonds, subtly adding to the beauty of it.

Wearing this headband grants the wearer greater expertise with eight different skills. Such headbands are almost exclusively worn by adventurers, though a few high noblemen (kings, and the like) sometimes wear them to show off to their peers. These headbands are so expensive, and provide such a broad variety of insight into skills that few people with actual jobs really ever have need of them. For these overzealous sages, the headband of the theorist or philosopher are far more useful (and affordable).

Since the bonus granted by the headband of the savant 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 +3 Enhancement Bonus to eight different skills, 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.

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.
