I know when this came up before, the response I got from dpeg was that not all unrands are supposed to be useful to everyone, but they should be useful to SOMEONE (too lazy to go back and get the quote). I'm perfectly fine with that philosophy; not everything has to be a pile of resistances and buffs and magical flowers, but the question remains: who would really find this artifact all that appealing? Am I really, really underestimating the value of a SH score of 60 vs. a SH of 45? It just seems very excessive in a less than crucial direction, like saying something has rPois+++, and with a handicap that, while thematically making perfect sense, just makes me question the notion of using this on anything. Honestly, I'd say dck's proposal of a buckler with these exact same features would be significantly more desirable, and the buckler at least has the right shape for it : P
