Or prosthetic hooks.

I like the idea of a MR check to resist getting trapped by harmful items.

Seems like items that require surgery should be a special case, and perhaps some others - not all harmful items need be traps.

How about a new item:

Geegaws of Contentment
These magic-looking trinkets are forged to content foolish underlings, so they don't go looking for potentially-trapped magic gear. They don't actually offer any magical effects, but the user has +1 morale because he thinks he's well-equipped.

It is a bit strange though when applied to magical eyes.
Which is cool, but gets silly when applied to Pretenders. Perhaps there should be a Magic Resistance Check? And obviously crippling items that require surgery should probably just not be found!

IMHO it would be cool to expand the gem case to allow one to carry magic items. Found items would go there, except that if one failed a MR save then cursed items might be equipped (possibly even forcibly swapping out current equipment).

Now that would be cool!
