[QUOTE="dcollins, post: 2342712, member: 876"] I was in fact wondering what that was in your first post. Thanks for adding it. I would highly recommend that you simply say "no" to this new magic item. As a DM you should not feel compelled to allow it in your game, when you can already see significant problems it will cause. PCs designing "new items" is a variant rule (DMG p. 214), and even then entirely the purview of the DM to say if it is possible or not. For me this would be a very easy, quick call and my players would be understanding. I highly encourage you to just say "no, that won't work". There's an essay I wrote last year on my website, concerning this subject. You'll notice that it specfically mentions the "skill bonus to Spellcraft" item along the way.
