Okay, I've read over this, and it seems a bit unclear.
What exactly is the difference between a temporary and a permanent bonus?
If I put on a [i]belt of incredible dexterity +4[i] do I gain all the benefits of having a Dex four points higher immediately, or do I have to wait 24 hours?
And if it's the former, what's the benefit of wearing the item after that 24 hours?
