Of course it is, except that you can do it several times. A random +1
dex/con/int is ok, but merely using uncurse scrolls/praying you can get 30
in all the three stats. By the way, a player checked the source and said
it should also give randmly STR as well, but whenever it should give STR
it gives DEX, and well it was intended to do such thing only once. I don't
understand why it's not obvious that this way this item is way too
powerfull.
