It seems a little game mechanic focused (like the creator was basing it on the d20 system rules, rather than some in-game necessity or innovation.)Anyway, the 20-30k range sounds OK to me (equations be damned!) but then I don't try exceedingly hard to balance item prices or even party gold (Boots of Striding and Springing are still just 2500gp in my game).I'd personally change the ring, however, to have four charges per day, and a charge may be expended to assist you with a task... This boils down to a +5 bonus to the requisite skill check (effects last an hour if the task is ongoing, or the same sort of task -- searching, let's say -- is done repeatedly). I'd keep the same price, seeing as it has less long-term use, but more utility (seeing that you can use it as the situation demands)... It's really not worth much less than the current item written. This is both a bit more realistic (IMO) and a bit more internally balanced -- as others have suggested, that ring is going to vary a lot in worth, and be open to exploitation as it's written.</blockquote>
