Hey gang. I just spent the past 90 minutes in the search options looking for this type of thread and was not able to find one. If it exists, please direct me there. If not, maybe we could have a discussion here about it. What I am looking to do is to develop a list of ways to increase a spellcraft check and the INT score. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, any templates have to be LA+1 or less. Cheers!

INT
Tome of Clear Thought +5
Headband of Intellect +6
Voidmind Template +2



Spellcraft
Masterwork ? +2

Item Familiar (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/itemFamiliars.htm): +lots to Spellcraft.

There's also Tome of Ancient Lore (MiC; +5 competence for 1 hour of study) and the "Seven Veils"-collection with 3 pieces grants a +2 competence.

You aren't epic. Why do you need Spellcraft?

Lesser Tiefling is a nice +2 int (and dex for your ranged touch attacks) -2 cha (dumb stats) 0LA, plus it's one of the few +int races that don't have the penalty "Elf".

Shape Soulmeld (Mage's Spectacles) +4 Insight bonus to Spellcraft, UMD, and Decipher Script, +2 per invested essentia.
Extra Essentia: Gain 2 essentia.
Together, these feats give you +8 spellcraft, UMD, and Decipher script, if you don't do anything else with incarnum.

I'm guessing... Incantatrix?

Also, custom item creation rules let you make a +30 spellcraft item for 90000 gp. Talk to your DM if you want one of those though.

Yes, Incantatar it is. Do Competence bonuses stack?

Multiple competence bonuses don't stack; only the highest bonus applies. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/theBasics.htm#competenceModifier)

Age for up to +3 INT. If you're desperate there's also the friendly neighborhood Succubus with Fiend of Possession and Fiend of Corruption for +7.

Then there’s always Mushroom Powder, which gives +2 INT I believe. Temporary though.

For ultimate Int bonus from level one, I suggest going Primordial Phrenic Incarnate Construct Warforged. -4 Str +6 Int +6 Cha all for +0LA. Now, if you're starting later, I'd go with a Black Ethergaunt due to its racial +20 Int.
