[QUOTE="ClemLOR, post: 4513954, member: 78846"] Greetings, community. On my latest DuD Session with my players the player with the artificer and I as DM have stumbled over a question we haven't been able to solve yet. The Eberron artificer has the ability to create almost any magic item - as long as he matches the prerequisites for the item; in order to emulate a certain spell effect, which the magic item requires, the artificer makes a Use magic Device skillcheck with a DC of 20 + casterlevel. Now, that's quite clear. But ... Consider this case: The artificer likes to create a necklace enhancing the spot-skill of the wearer by +4 comptence bonus. As a matter of fact we haven't been able to find the right spell for this effect. We though about the 0-Level spell guidance; but this spell only grants a +1 bonus. Many other skills offer bonuses to attributes - like with cat's grace - and therefore give no competence bonus. Any ideas? Is guidance the right spell?
