Lion Mane

The Lion Mane is an uncommon neck armor with a thematically fitting stat distribution: +1 Strength, +1 HP, and +1 Charisma at the cost of -1 Intelligence and -1 Speed. It skews the wearer toward physical and social capability while softening mental and movement stats. The net stat exchange is roughly neutral but redistributed toward a bruiser-with-presence profile — melee cats that interact with NPCs benefit from the Charisma gain without caring much about the INT or Speed loss.
