Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

To make the item more interesting, it should do something good as well, like a boost to strength or something, and re-curse itself so it can't be swapped easily.

He's proposing that the hat would block reading scrolls, which means remove curse scrolls would be useless. It would indeed be a terrible/noob trap item lol.
