[QUOTE="Jack Haggerty, post: 115818, member: 89"] Oh... Don't worry about it. I was just jerking your chain a little. Sometimes it just bothers me when a player wants the easy way out, instead of sucking it up and paying for what he wants. I just wanted to make certain I understood the situation. That's how it sounded to me... I got the wrong impression. It seemed to me that he should be do some long range planning for something like this, instead of asking at the last minute. So, he's already getting the circumstance bonus from Decihper Script, right? I'd still recommend the Skill Focus feat, if he'll take it, but spending the cross class skills for Spellcraft is a bit steep, unless he plans on multiclassing to a wizard or sorcerer (which might not be a bad idea since he could write his own scrolls, then). I like the idea of those Reading Glasses... A similar idea (except with a magnifying glass), was the first thing that popped into my head too. A similar lens item could grant the user a +2 bonus to Decipher Script and Use Magic Device checks with regards to scrolls, and, in addition, allow them to cast Read Magic and Comprehend Languages (but only with regards to written text, not spoken language) once per day. A generic Charisma booster itme like the Mustrum's Circlet of Persuasion isn't a bad idea either. [/QUOTE]
