[QUOTE="Hassassin, post: 5533942, member: 6675228"] There are rules for this in the DMG or the SRD. At least competence bonuses can go as high as +10. To make an item with +1 competence to a skill the price is 100gp. To add another bonus you multiply the lower price by 1.5 and add them. So an item with +1 competence bonuses to 10 different skills would be 100gp + 9x150gp = 1450gp. However, most of those are bound to be "uncustomary slot limitations" so the entire cost should be multiplied by 1.5 or by 2 if you want it entirely slotless. So the cost would be below 3000gp, which is not a very good deal compared to +2 Dex or +2 Int at 4000gp giving you bonuses to many skills and much more. A magic item that gives +1 (enhancement) to an ability costs 1000gp and for that you'd get an item that gives +3 (competence) to a skill (900gp), so +3 inherent might be a good ruling for Wishing skill in something. It also matches the bonus from Skill Focus, which is nice. Edit: Actually I'd probably give the wisher the Skill Focus feat if I was feeling nice and it was carefully worded. Something casual like "I wish I were a better climber" may of course transform them to a spider or whatever... [/QUOTE]
