's answer: (I believe the question was in an old Dragon Sage Advice column) the makers said that the xp listed was not a typo and came up with the reason that the anyone wearing a girdle has the added strength but not the cordination to use the added strength and is thus very awkward. However no where else have I seen any mention of a disadvantage to a girdle and if one exists it must be good too conteract 35% addition to hit and I believe fourteen more points to damage. w not d -rob bryan
