[3.5] Items that boost UMD

**Gorbash** · 2009-05-17, 10:52 AM (ISO 8601)

Aside from Circlet of Persuasion and Cloak of Charisma, are there any?

I'm trying to boost up UMD with my Wizard in order to shamelessly use Bead of Karma, but I haven't heard of any aside those two.

Quick glance at the SRD's creating magic items table shows that you can create an item that grants competence to any skill for the desired bonus squared x100gp. So, +5 is 2,500, for example. +10 is 10,000gp, etc.

Assuming that you want to bump UMD exclusively, you may find that +5 for 2500gp is more appealing than +3 for 4500gp from the circlet of persuasion.

There are psionic items called shards which provide a one-time bonus to a skill. A +10 shard costs 1,000 gp, although that might be a bit much for a one-use item.

Of course, there's also the whole "Mw. Tool"-part. But you've hit the big ones generally used for this purpose. Specific UMD items haven't seen print to my knowledge.

Spellsight Spectacles, +5 competence bonus, 2500 GP, MIC p. 138.

A potion of Guidance of the Avatar might work well as a one-shot. +20 competence bonus, only 300 GP for a 2nd level potion:

A potion of Divine Insight (Spell Compendium) would give you a +8 insight bonus for the same price.
