Desirability

A nice shield if you can take the Int hit. Be aware that walking around with 2 intelligence is unwise, even if you're not a spellcaster; being crippled by every passing neqoxec is not fun, even if you don't suffer a statdeath. Unfortunately, those who don't care about Int are usually those have low Int to begin with.
