Girdle of Fortifude sets your Consitution to 18. Sounds useless? Oh of course almost all of your character's CON should be 16 or 17. But what about Aerie? I noticed that my party's con score was 16 to 18 except Aerie. So I give this girdle to Aerie. It can be used once per day but if lasts for 8 hours (or 1 day I can remember) This girdle gives Aerie additional 20 hp. It's very useful. And with the Mauler's arm+2 her str is 18.
Str 18
Con 18
Dex 17 (or 18? I cant remember)
+additional 20 hp's
Oh she can help you even in melee right now

Not to mention Tenser's transformation, stoneskin etc
