Wig

The Wig is a common head armor with +2 Charisma. It provides no Shield or defensive stats — the entire value is the Charisma bump, which affects NPC interactions, shop prices, and social encounters. Worth considering on a designated social cat that handles all the talking, particularly if Charisma-gated options are present in your current run.

+2 Charisma at common rarity is a decent social return for a head slot with no combat downside beyond the slot cost itself. Charisma influences merchant pricing, branching dialogue, and certain event outcomes — a cat wearing the Wig may open options that lower-Charisma companions cannot. Since the Wig provides no defensive value, wearing it means accepting vulnerability in the head slot entirely.

Best on a backline or support cat who avoids taking hits, where the empty defensive slot isn't punished by enemy attacks. In runs with heavy NPC interaction or Charisma-check events, the Wig's bonus can pay off in gold or access well beyond its item value. Swap it out immediately if a head armor with real defensive stats or a strong special effect appears — the Wig is a placeholder that excels only in Charisma-dependent scenarios.
