Bean Parasite

A bean-shaped brain parasite that floods its host with unearned intelligence. Bean Parasite grants INT +5 — an enormous bonus that supercharges spell power and any INT-scaling effects — but inflicts Confusion, causing the wearer to act erratically or potentially attack randomly. A high-risk, high-reward head piece: if you can neutralize the Confusion through immunity or accept its randomness, you gain one of the best INT bonuses available. Particularly tempting for dedicated spellcasters who can afford to gamble on their own behavior.
