Button's Wig

Button's Wig is a wig found on top of Button Gwinnett's cabinet at the end of the Stealing Independence quest. When equipped, the wig grants a bonus to the Intelligence trait as well as the Barter and Speech skills, but subtracts a point from the Perception trait. +5 Barter, -1 PE, +1 IN, +10 Speech.

The intelligence bonus gives +2 to the Science, Medicine, and Repair skills (assuming you do not already have a 10 intelligence). This is the only headgear other than Lincoln's Hat that gives bonuses to these skills.

This piece of headwear, while rather weak, has the interesting capability of increasing several "stand-by" skills profitably, such as giving 10+ to the speech skill, and therefore netting an impressive 20+ to speech when combined with Naughty Nightwear. The same can be said to combining the headwear with, for instance, Lesko's Lab Coat, Red Racer Jumpsuit and The Surgeon's Lab Coat giving impressive bonuses to the INT skills. It should be noted that 10+ speech has about the same result to NPC disposition as 2+CH.
