[QUOTE="SolitonMan, post: 5465995, member: 22433"] No, the +15 is a permanent competence bonus on a ring, and the market price (22,500 gp) has been determined from the rules for estimating magic item prices, which can be found at [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm]Creating Magic Items :: d20srd.org[/url] Additionally, if you check the basics of Epic Magic Items section of the SRD at [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/magicItems/basics.htm]Epic Magic Items :: d20srd.org[/url] you'll see that a skill-enhancing item isn't considered epic until the bonus to the skill exceeds +30. Based on the requirements for existing skill-enhancement items (Improved Ring of Climbing, for example) the creator must have ranks in the skill at least equal to the bonus they're creating. 15 ranks of any class skill can be reached by level 12, which conveniently is when you can take the Forge Ring feat. :) As far as the artificer infusion of skill enhancement goes, that bonus is a circumstance bonus (Eberron Campaign Setting, page 115) which would stack with the competence bonus provided by the ring's enhancement. With my artificer at level 16, that would provide a further +10 bonus. Hmm, thanks for bringing that up! :) [/QUOTE]
