Maybe something like that would be ok, as long as it isn't a standard action to get the benefit. UMD is very powerful and letting another +2 bonus come to it on the cheap should be limited. -Drachasor

It grants a +2 circumstance bonus on a related skill check (if any). Bonuses provided by multiple masterwork items used toward the same skill check do not stack. === So I think mine will be a top hat, tuxedo and a black wand with white tips. "Nothing up my sleeves... Presto!"

That is so simple, and it looks like you're right. You're not even being sneaky or anything, the entire entry comes out and says that it covers "just about anything else" other than the kits already mentioned. Brilliant! Give yourself a raise.
