Use the enchantment forges found in various locations to create items with powers you want. Most items in the treasure drops are useful and can provide gold, but the best items will be enchanted by you to fit your character’s specific needs.

After finding one it struck me odd to be able to create rather powerfull items in certain ways but unable to put more then +2 of any skill on anything - which is IMHO pointless. Is this intentional?

I believe they're level restricted, but I agree that +1 or +2 to a skill isn't much of a boost. Everything else seems good though.

Although I miss immunity to permadeath... :P

The Plus 1 or plus 2 actually stacks.. if you have a helmet, a cloak, boots, two rings, a necklace, a belt and an outfit each with +2 heal on them then you have +16 to your heal skill which is very useful.

Jechal pretty much summed it up. Since NWN stacks any bonuses, allowing +5 or better for skills could really end up overpowering certain skills, especially since the forges let you enchant virtually any item. The limit of +2 is intentional.
