A +1 insight bonus is 2,500. An unlimited-use +5 insight bonus to all attack rolls is 62,500. So, are you telling me that you really think an unlimited-use +20 insight bonus to all attack rolls would only cost 2,000gp? (By the way, I haven't even included the capability to negate the miss chance provided by concealment yet.) If so, that lacks common sense.I'm not trying to be cruel. I'm just stating the facts. EDIT: Also, to clarify, I'm not saying that I don't understand how someone could make that mistake if the spell level formula is the first one they see on the table. I'm saying that I don't understand how someone could make that mistake after its been specifically pointed out to them.So is the guideline for pricing insight bonuses.Actually, players the world over are supposed to seek out their DM for help creating a magic item. The DMG isn't a shopping catalog. A DM should know that a +20 insight bonus isn't 2,000gp when the very same page indicates that a +1 insight bonus is 2,500gp. If the DM doesn't know that, then he's either missed that in the table, or he lacks common sense.I'll totally admit that the item pricing guidelines aren't very comprehensive, but they aren't very difficult to figure out either, especially not when the price of an insight bonus is starring one in the face.I hear a lot about MEG's new book. I don't know. Maybe it'll be comprehensive enough to set an example for other publishers. We can always hope, right? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Exactly. A +1 insight bonus is 2,500gp, thus...True strike isn't out of whack for its level. A magic item using it is out of whack when someone prices it inappropriately.I think such a solution might be a little drastic. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
