So there I was, just having cleard the Ice Temple Level 1. I went back to Oswald, because I needed a break, thought maybe I'd sell some stuff, and plus I needed to give him the belladonna.
I had forgotten that he also had some Winter Wolf clothes ready for me, but when I picked them up, I noticed that Winter Wolf clothes not only give cold protection, but-- unlike Yeti Pelt clothes-- they also give a +1 to Charisma. This makes sense. After all, yetis are shaggy and smelly, but a lush white Winter Wolf cloak has gotta be a pretty good-looking item. And then I thought-- hey, if a cloak looks good, how about a cloak, matching hat, boots and gloves? My party is all female, so it would be like walking around Faerun with a party of Elizabeth Taylors (who fight).
But guess what? The Charisma bonus does not stack!!.
That's just wrong. It really should stack. You certainly paid enough for Oswald to make the clothes, so it's not as if it's some kind of cheat, and it makes logical sense that the more beautiful items you are wearing, the more beautiful you are perceived to be.
I had saved before ordering the clothes, so it's not a question of money, but it really bummed me out, that little error, and so I wanted to gripe about it.

Will I ever encounter a merchant who buys the armor made from boring beetle shell for something approaching what I paid for it? Or should I only have Oswald make what I actually can use, and throw the rest of the shells away? Or can I sell them to another merchant in the future (since I do know I'm going to Kuldahar someday)?
