Production bonuses ensure that you are paid additional compensation if your screenplay gets produced, typically paying out upon commencement of principal photography.

Increasingly, writers have begun to negotiate bonuses to be paid if their theatrical project is released primarily on a streaming service. These bonuses, which may be instead of or applicable against backend compensation, are often paid only if the writer receives sole or shared credit; an alternative is to negotiate an increase in your credit bonus if the project is released to streaming.

For avoidance of doubt, a limited theatrical release by the streaming service e. for purposes of qualifying for an Academy Award shall not preclude payment of the Streaming Bonus, provided the Box Office Receipts are not sufficient to trigger any Box Office Bonuses.

These bonuses do not vary substantially in value and typically pay out if the project is nominated for or wins an Academy Award or a Golden Globe, though other awards occasionally qualify, including the Writers Guild Awards.

These bonuses may pay up to, for instance:.

If this is going to be harmless to the campaign then its fine to push it. If it isn't fair to most of the players in the game, then it shouldn't be done. Also going to point out that there is no limit on how big a single bonus can be.

It only costs more gold. Meirril hits the nail on the head mechanics wise. I'll attempt to help a bit when it comes to fluff a bit and maybe building it? Okay so Slight of Hand. We're probably looking into Gloves. Maybe Shoulders, maybe head.

Let's do something silly, easy, but also a flavor option to just give an example. But you can probably make an item that has all those bonuses and make it somewhat balanced. The issue is making sure each bonus is turned on only at certain times.

So you'd probably sweep the table with Gloves of the Card Shark. But trying to hide a note or slip fake evidence on the guard captain would still see bonuses just not as much. luck bonuses are also rare but come from a few well known items that are very expensive or spells that involve luck.

Ring of Shadow Mastery is a 3rd party item and needs you to spend Shadow Surges to power it. Stone of Good Luck is the poster child of luck bonuses and sets the standard.

There is no larger luck bonus to skills. Most luck bonuses apply to saves or AC. And the only enhancement bonuses I could find were to Dexterity.

Oh, and you could use a cyclops helm to give yourself a natural 20 for one check per day. Personally I'd be more interested in gaining Mind Blank the spell for after the theft. High level adventurers have this tendency to not let theft go without trying spells to find out who did it.

Mind Blank would only help if the creature was the target of their efforts. It says nothing regarding the object itself. So if the owner is looking for an items location they could still find it, but would just not observe the thief, I believe non-detection would be better for the scenario that you described as they would start with trying to locate the item taken.

However Modify Memory could make the person think that they did something else with the item entirely and raise no suspicion. Also helpful if the slight of hand fails, as they could immediately forget about the incident. If I'm not mistaken 8th level spells aren't generally found on items which probably takes Mind Blank out of the equation.

Might make a good base spell requirement for crafting a powerful item however. A Glove of Storing might be extremely useful for a pick pocket. Maybe the 'pocketed' item when shrunk down within the Glove of Storing comes under the effect of Obscure Object. I suppose the Rules Forum answer would be: follow the rules for custom-making Wondrous Items, then make devices that provide the different bonuses an a variety of amounts commensurate with the crafter's current power levels.

Other, additional abilities might be:. A magic item that summons either a creature or a duplicate of the PC to grant Aid Another bonuses. Or just buff this PC with a bunch of spells before he meets the high-level NPC instead. If you have the power in your party to cast all of the above spells for a single Sleight of Hand check, I'm guessing you've got at least a level 5 pickpocket making this attempt.

Because it seems grinding crafting skills as completely pointless. the chances of crafting a "Normal" one is getting less the stats for each quality type are always going to be the same for anyone the focus cost efficiency 3rd in list is the same ideas as the 1st you listed costs less focus to craft each one, if you choose to use focus.

Ok thanks man. You've read their guides? Bonus to crafting focus efficiency means it takes less focus points per craft. So i'm making up numbers here while a T4 broadsword might take focus to craft at 0 specialization, at 10 specialization, it might cost only focus.
