I have an idea for a houserule but I want your input first.
Under this rule magic items that grant bonuses to skill checks would instead allow to re-roll natural rolls equal to their bonus.
For example, a Nature +2 item would not grant +2 to Nature, but instead allow to re-roll any Nature check if you roll a natural 1 or 2.
Maybe this could be extended to attack and defenses bonuses but I have no idea how.
The rationale behind this idea is that magic items should be something more special than bland bonuses. Re-rolling is fairly unique among player abilities, bonuses are plentiful. I'm mainly trying to change flavor, possibly not altering result averages if possible.
