I find it rather odd why people just don't go behind Pebble Skin Suit. If you are seriously concerned that it would be the next best SC gear or something, just make cost it E4 (or E5 if you really want be concervative). That way you can climb up to the high level earth spells like in the blood stone years, but it will just cost you so much as to prevent spam. I mean seriuosly, how many Air Helmets have forged in a single game? How many would you have forged if it was cursed?

The str boost is neglible (+2! big difference!), regeneration is pretty useful I admit, but really not big of a deal since it's not really a SC item. The stoneskin will often just hinder you with the -50cr penalty associated with it and it will stay even if you cast invulnerability/iron skin. Getting turned into a troll might be awesome, if you are human mage, not much so if you are a tartarian.
