The stone accomplishes three things (attacks, saves, skill checks), so the quick and dirty breakdown is that the skill bonus thing is roughly one-third the total price, which is about 3,300gp.A +2 bonus to only Knowledge skills wouldn't be as costly though. Here's an example. Assuming that a character wouldn't have need for more than ten Knowledge skills anyway, I'll start with that. A +2 bonus to a skill is worth 80gp. A second +2 bonus to another skill, on the same item, is double that (if the item takes up a slot). So, we have 80 + (160 x 9) = 1,520gp. So, you get a +2 bonus to a total of only 10 skills. Comparing that to the Stone of Good Luck, which gives the bonus to every single skill, I can safely say that my price isn't too low. In fact, I think it might be too high, but I wouldn't suggest lowering it below 1,000gp. After all, Knowledge is a useful skill, but its not that useful.</blockquote>
