That things even worse than the ring, come on, atleast add some int or wis instead of Dex, something that very few Tunare worshippers will EVER need. Most Tunare's, Druids and Casters for holding stuff, and pally's for hittin hard obviously, will need strength more than any other stat (save wis or int for casters). It's just a dumb idea. Sorry Tunare's, looks like you got screwed!
Imbued jewelry requires a caster who follows a god to imbue a gem. For Tunare, the gem is an emerald. High elf clerics are one of the few race and class combos that can follow tunare. A thing that you have to keep in mind is that the majority of people making clerics will naturally choose high elves for their superior wisdom. So verant is going to give the better imbued jewelry to races who people don't often choose as much, like dark elves and humans. So Verant is trying to create balance through the whole imbued jewelry thing. I'm aware other race/class combo's can choose tunare, and they're getting the shaft, but it's not really a big thing.
You are so wrong about this. This sucking is just a coincidence. Don't get me wrong because they do deserve it to suck because Verant seriously kissed the asses of the most unimaginative overplayed race with the Plane of Growth, but the only reason they got crappy racial jewelry is because Verant didn't know how else to make the stats up. They had to follow the guidlines of what the gem normally makes and they have a crappy gem. Please note how good their racial armor is that they make with this crappy gem and compare it to other races that have similar in value armor that require much more valuable gems.
