Utghars and hats/helmets

It seems like Utghars now can wear hats and helmets on Amun. This is a most welcome update, but I think the implementation is a bit odd:

What makes the Utghars a "special" class now? Nothing, really, except our wierd look and that this look still can't be customized by different looking hats. Before bonuses on headgear was introduced, Utghars was given an additional 5 constitution bonus to compensate for the lack of headgear-armour. My impression is that this was fair and considered an accepted compensation throughout the community (please, correct me if I'm wrong).

Then headgear with bonuses where introduced, and Utghars somehow got a disadvantage (especially mages, since they have really few slots to equip potential bonus items). Since then we have been waiting for NGD to fix this issue. Now they have, in a way.

Unfortunately the way this problem was "fixed" was not the way we could expect. Therefore I demand:

that NGD restores the 5 const bonus on Utghars.
that NGD removes armour points on headgear when they are equipped by Utghars.

Ok. As simple as that. It will be just as before, with the simple difference that Utghars now can enjoy the headgear bonuses that unrighteously have been denied them since those bonuses were introduced.

No harm will be done: You will only have to write a simple piece of code to check the race when a hat is equipped.
