Why does the mask lead Atreus to Garm if there isn't a mask piece there? This is one of the parts of the story that bugs me a lot. I guess we'll possibly learn more about the mask in GoW Laufey, but what are your current guesses as to why it led Atreus to Garm?

I have a homebrew item that increases strength and dexterity by 6, which can exceed the maximum score of 20 (no attunement required). On one of my characters, when I equip it, his dex score goes from 16 to 22. Whenever another character equips it, though, it only increases their score to 20. Is there an option/setting on the character sheet that I'm missing that might be the cause of this?

Any and all help is appreciated
