Or there should be a feat to increase all Saving Throws by +1.  I'm not sure, but we can assume a parallel with ability score bonuses at least.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />My idea would be to seperate the cloak into 3: Fortitude; Reflex and Will.Therefore a Cloak of Fortitude Resistance +5 would be 25,000 GP.Adding +5 to Reflex would cost +50,000 GP.Adding +5 to Will would cost +50,000 GP.So a Cloak of Total Resistance +5 would cost 125,000 GP  I don't think its 'broken' simply too cheap.Well you can increase DCs by ability score enhancement.Incidently I have just been checking Ioun Stones and they rate the Alertness feat the same price as a +2 ability score enhancement (8000 GP). Which is a little strange considering Gauntlets of Ogre Power cost 4000 GP. Though presumably because Ioun Stones don't use up any item slots (though double the cost seems a bit too much for that luxury perhaps).So from the above we can extrapolate that a magic item that adds a feat is presumably valued at 4000 GP.Same as (all 4000 GP):Bracers of Armor +2Cloak of Resistance +2 (to all saves)Gloves of Arrow SnaringPearl of Power (2nd)Periapt of proof against poison +4 (to Fort vs. poison)[Ability Score] enhancement +2+2 ArmourLess expensive items include (all 2000 GP):Boots of Elvenkind (+10 skill bonus)Cloak of Elvenkind (+10 skill bonus)Ring of Climbing (+10 skill bonus)Vest of Escape (+10 skill bonus)+1 Weapon So from the above evidence we can ascertain that under the official rules a feat could conceivably even add +14 to a skill! Though I would maintain that the skill bonus cost should be doubled meaning a +10 skill bonus item would also cost 4000 GP.Yes I'll have to sort that out for 4th Edition. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Later mate. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
