Family: Headband of the Philosopher

A simple leather headband, stitched with thread of ambergold. It has no embossing or designs, nor is it lined, or made fancy with gems, lace, wirework, or any other embellishments. Instead, it thrums with a simple ambient significance, calmly imparting its energy into the world, and especially into its wearer.

Wearing this headband grants the wearer greater expertise with three different skills. Headbands such as this are worn by craftsmen, traders, and even some noblemen, and any others who seek a solid grounding in a complex profession.

Since the bonus granted by the headband of the philosopher 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 +2 Enhancement Bonus to three different skills, chosen at the time the headband is acquired. Once selected, the skills 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 +2 Enhancement Bonus to the wearer's Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability scores (which results in a +1 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.
