I'm not sold on its usefulness yet to the extent that'd make it worthwhile. I'd probably take Powers of Observatiogn first.

None of the shirts have much in the way of bonuses; I think the Supportive Bra is the highest at +5 Moxie. In terms of being extra armor, most of them are pretty low-level stuff (40 or 50 power), which is no more than an unboosted Ghostly Shell adds, and I've been pretty unimpressed with what _that_'s done for damage reduction. The big one is the Star Shirt, 165 points of armor, but is that plus +1/All Attributes worth an Ascension skill slot?

Maybe if I was building a defensive monster, stacking Astral Shell + Ghostly Shell + Tao of the Terrapin + best armor available + best shirt available + Hippo Buckler + Star Buckler, it'd be a help, but I'm not sure that I'll ever want or need to do that.

#1 is up around 1.7 million meat and #2 is just over a million. Not bad, especially since prices on Mr. As are dropping, but it'd still take me forever to work up to a Cheshire Bitten (currently at around 12 million). I have some decent meat-making rackets, but they're not THAT fast, particularly if I keep going right back into Ronin.
