 Harm and *Slow are the two more dangerous properties -- if you can counteract Slow and make use of Harm, such as being a [[Formicid]] mage, it can be useful. It still remains a ''very'' dubious item for everyone else.

 *Prior to [[0.15]] the stealth penalty was -80.
 *Prior to [[0.12]], the Robe of Misfortune was even more dangerous to wear, as it would increase your magical contamination while you wore it.  However, since its contamination was gradual, it was far less dangerous to try on if you had a scroll of remove curse handy.
