Gold Plating

Equipment

Applying the Gold Plating kit modification takes a skilled craftsman, time, and resources. The cost of the resources and labor varies depending on what piece of equipment you apply it onto, for instance: small knives would be faster and cheaper than a piece of torso armor.

The bonus you gain from applying the kit is permanent. Each piece of Gold Plated equipment you have equipped reduces your Dexterity (Stealth) checks by 1, but increases all your Charisma checks by 1. The plating process has also increased the durability of the equipment (essentially becomes a +1 magic item).
