If you price them for those nations, then they're too expensive for everyone else. If you price them for everyone else, those two get hordes of cheap SCs. Removing the afflictions would be the best solution, but I don't think that's possible.

I actually think the GoR change makes it worse. Previously boosting the cost of GoR allowed you to change the cost of only the useful tarts. Whoever had GoR or the Chalice could heal them all and GoR as many as they could afford, but other nations could summon them, but only GoR the non-feebleminded ones, lowering their cost per useful tart.

Now the cost is the same, but without Chalice/GoH you get roughly a quarter as many useful ones.

Good points! Maybe make the chalice a level 6 item but increase the price by *lots*? The tarts could then be balanced around the idea that they will be eventually healed.
