    \$\begingroup\$ I think you should add that Rogues, Bards, and some other class archetypes can add their double their proficiency to some checks. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 9, 2018 at 14:24

    \$\begingroup\$ A bard is about the best person to have this item: - they use weapons, so get a +1 there. Likewise, they use spells, so get a +1 to their spell attacks and saves - they get lots of skill proficiencies, Expertise in some skills, and half their proficiency to the rest So it's undeniably powerful, but +1 to a lot of checks and +2 to a few is not going to break your game. And the thing about proficiency bonus is that you can't use it in unexpected ways; they're not going to spring some weird use of it on you that makes this more powerful, because it's a mechanical bonus with a specific job. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 9, 2018 at 14:58

    \$\begingroup\$ While comparing this hypothetical item to a combination of two Uncommons and a Very Rare, it might be worth considering how attunement limits affect the comparison. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 10, 2018 at 0:46

    \$\begingroup\$ But why the round about comparison with those items, when a much more direct comparison could be done with an Ioun Stone of Mastery? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 16, 2019 at 1:49
