I've actually been mulling over the idea of a 10* item, which I believe may be somewhat fitting for the boss. Essentially, a Stasis Robe, which makes one resistant to status infliction in place of one's natural resistance to it, in exchange for lesser effectiveness of healing effects.
I was thinking an Unarmored torso with high magic armor, which gives UL*4 - SAN*2 status resistance and -UL*4% healing received from all effects. Functionally, it would replace one's status resistance from SAN with an amount just under what soft capping SAN would give, leaving a race that doesn't benefit from SAN with the potential to stack enough resistance to bring a decent Hexer under 100% infliction chance, at a hefty cost.
It would be a rather large stat boost for a single item, but even humans tend to get a small chunk of SAN from aptitude. I believe all of the races with existing healing penalties gain large benefit from SAN, so it wouldn't be a very large benefit for them to use. Additionally, the healing penalty would leave poorer synergy with most Faith builds, since they usually involve healing, leaving it difficult to maximize the status resist boost while ignoring the penalty.
It's not really meant to make one able to completely shut down all status infliction, but allow Corrupted/humans/etc. to reach a high enough level of status resistance that building more makes any difference. Additionally, a significant healing penalty on an item would make low healing numbers no longer a way to instantly OOCly be certain that a character is a vampire. And would leave circumstances in which one couldn't just throw healing magic at a non-vampire to find out with OOC certainty they're not a vampire.
It may be a bit too much, but to better fit the boss, perhaps on a successful status resistance it could 'reflect' the infliction, performing an inflict check against the attacker for the same status using the attacker's inflict vs the attacker's resist. In either case, if an icon is needed, I have someone willing to make one for it.
