-To the first part: Yes, but that's true for every single cure I could think 
of except the Gnome. And I bet I could bribe him into throwing me at a 
Statue...
To the second part: Yes, it's much too easy. That is, if you can get to it. 
What, are you going to stand next to it forever to never be drunk?-

-Well, then I can change the effects, if you can tell me how a change of one 
or two points is so groundshaking. I mean, really... look at this:

Ogre 20 6 1 30
Faerie 3 11 18 2

Okay, so Ogres are seven times as strong, half as fast, one /eighteenth/ as 
intelligent, and /fifteen/ times as... constituated. And one or two points 
make a big difference?-

-Monoliths can still be taken down by Entropy overloads this way, but think 
about Monoliths throughout fiction. Ancient strange powerful slabs of 
whatnot - are they going to be destroyed by mere fire or a rock? I think 
not. This one will stay as it is - if later we find that it is too strong, 
we'll fix it, but at the moment some overcompensation may be what we need to 
get some unused things jump-started.-
