Galtin,
I carry a couple head items with me. If I were you I would hang onto that
Mane Attraction so you don't have to bother with the Siryn Hair Hood (which
I usually wear). I did not know the stats of the Mane. If I wear you, I'd
get another helm with good AC to switch to when Cha isn't needed and you're
in battle so looks aren't *as* important. Lambent is good (which I use
because it has to be blue to match my outfit hehe), but Skull Shape Barbute
stats are wonderful :) Oh, and hang onto the BI crown for the resists when
you do dragon raids, which imo is the only time we really need to worry
about the resist gear. Our songs give us great resists!
As far as earrings go, I was a charisma queen until about 45, when I
realized it just wasn't too important anymore. I still leave on one of my
Opalline earrings (it's 2ac also), but on my other ear I have a +4 Str one.
Take care and hope to run into you one of these days.
