What magic items add bonuses to ability checks?
Our GM is using house rule about natural 1 - we roll dexterity modifier against DC 15. Something bad will happen if we loose. So we are looking for items which will increase our dexterity rolls.
So far I have found:
- belt of incredible dexterity: enhacement to dexterity
- pale green ioun stone: +1 competence and +1 morale (from flawed one)
- stone of good luck: +1 luck (which can be increased by taking fate's favored trait)
- greater hat of disguise: +2 size to dexterity
In order of (initial) Price ...

If Natural 1s are the issue, (causing this D.C.15 check in the first place), then perhaps it would be better to avoid Natural 1s at all ...
Other:
* [1 680gp] Lesser Talisman (Good Fortune) -> single-use item, where the first time that the wearer rolls a Natural 1 on a d20 roll, (e.g., a Skill check), they can immediately re-roll and take the second result instead.
* Cat Burglar's Boots -> 1/day re-roll a failed Acrobatics or Stealth check, taking the second roll. (Grants additional Effects.)
* [3 000gp] Fortunate Charm -> 1/day re-roll a Skill check after the outcome is known, keeping the re-roll result.
* [5 000gp] Wayfinder of Hidden Strength -> insert a Sphere shaped Ioun Stone to 1/day roll a 2d4 after failing a Skill check and add the result to the check retroactively; if the Bonus is high enough to turn the Failure into a Success, the check is successful. If the Sphere's Price is 10 000-30 000gp you instead roll a 3d4; if the Price is more than 30 000gp then it grants a 4d4 roll.
* [5 600gp] Cyclops Helm -> 1/day choose the result of a die roll.
* [6 500gp] Foresight Quill -> select Skill check to 1/day re-roll the next Skill check that day and take the most favourable result; the next Attack roll or Saving Throw is also re-rolled but you take the least favourable result.
* [16 800gp] Greater Talisman (Good Fortune) -> 1/day, where when the wearer rolls a Natural 1 on a d20 roll, (e.g., a Skill check), they can immediately re-roll and take the second result instead.
* [22 060/62 360/102 660/142 960gp] Luck Blade (0/1/2/3 Wishes) -> a +2 Short Sword that grants a 1/day re-roll a roll before the result is known. (Grants additional Effects.)
* Cat Burglar's Boots -> 1/day re-roll a failed Acrobatics or Stealth check, taking the second roll. (Grants additional Effects.)
* [3 000gp] Fortunate Charm -> 1/day re-roll a Skill check after the outcome is known, keeping the re-roll result.
* [5 000gp] Wayfinder of Hidden Strength -> insert a Sphere shaped Ioun Stone to 1/day roll a 2d4 after failing a Skill check and add the result to the check retroactively; if the Bonus is high enough to turn the Failure into a Success, the check is successful. If the Sphere's Price is 10 000-30 000gp you instead roll a 3d4; if the Price is more than 30 000gp then it grants a 4d4 roll.
