I'm kind of working out this idea as I'm going along, so don't take the rest of this as an argument. Whatever I can 'tool' out here, I plan on incorporating into my next campaign.Crothian has a point about caster level checks, but then that too can be mixed up. That will inhibit the caster unless he stays a single class caster. Also, I think there is some feat now (I can't remember the source) that lets a multi-class caster cast at his total character level. So, a Fighter12/Wizard8 would have a caster level of 20! Something like that seems like a greater abuse than a skill point boosting item. As far as items go, in 3.5, a 10 point skill boosting item is more expensive now than in 3.0. So, DMs can decide whether that is an abuse or not. Alternatives include:--Counting only half the bonus the item would grant, or even none at all. --Doubling or tripling the cost to create such an item since the skill can now be used for something so important to arcane casters. --Having to create an item that boosts Spellcraft (or the relevant skill for Sorcerers or Bards) specifically--and only--for the purpose of skill checks for casting while wearing armor.</blockquote>
