Or:

Charm of Poverty - If your treasure total is:
4-9: +2 to melee, ranged, spell damage
3 or less: +3 to melee, ranged, spell damage

Would the charms be usable in grind since there isn't any treasure anyway?

I like the first version, there are probably players that have no interest in pulls. Maybe make it a common?

Woo, grind MVT right there.

3 or 3 or less?

There is an interesting game mechanic for those that like treasure, and get 20+ pulls that would make this too powerful as a common. Especially the first one.

The cestus usable by all are d4 based, not d6.

Build your character with a different weapon and then switch to this in combat? Also, likely to add complexity to all future balancing discussions.

And if FoB monks are getting +2 damage it should probably be d4 based, a 5-10 seems strong with +2 to hit at UR level. The VSF had poison baked in so a poison immune construct (there were so many that year, or trees) were immune.

Berserker's Bead - +4 melee damage with 2 handed weapons
Bead of Blasting - +3 spell damage, +5 if you fail your skill test
Bead of Balm - +3 spell healing, +5 if you fail your skill test

Since we know there are plans to make it possible to equip more than one bead, but we don't know how easy/difficult it will be to add bead slots, I'd suggest holding off on these. They might be ok, or might be too powerful.

But I'd also be ok with us entirely avoiding yet more damage bonuses in slots that don't have them yet.
