- Apparently, the original counterpart to Brainless was to be called 'Brain-full', and the description implies that it would have provided 10% more XP, 1 more skill point per level, +1 Intelligence, and +10 Science. Additionally, there is also a mirror of Big Brained with the same name but different effects (identical addition resistance as Brainless, with +5% DR as opposed to +5% or +10% DT) and description.
