Hey All,

Looking for some feedback on a custom/homebrew burden...eye glasses. See what I have below. Let me know why comments, thoughts or feedback you have. Many thanks!!

EYE GLASSES
Modified from Unearthed Arcana 3.5 -
Characters with this trait might be sensitive about it, or they might simply be oblivious to its presence, having never known any different way of experiencing the world.
Roll 1D6: 1-3 Near Sighted, 4-6 Far Sighted.
Nearsighted: You have difficulty focusing on distant objects.
Effect: You do not add your proficiency bonus to passive perception, spot checks or ranged attacks and all your range categories are reduced by half.
Farsighted: You have difficulty focusing on nearby objects.
Effect: You do not add your proficiency bonus Search or investigation checks. The time it takes you to read without glasses or other form of magnification is doubled. If you’re a spell caster, the time spent memorizing spells or transferring scrolls is doubled.
Special: Apothecaries or other “specialty crafters” can remove the penalties from your vision drawback with specially crafted, wire-frame glasses. Note, glasses can break under a variety of circumstance all subject to the DMs discretion.

My favorite magic item in d&d (but you can also it in Symbaroum D&d) is the Rock of detection:
