Foolishly, I was assuming I could gather a set of UMD gear, for which to use out of combat to buff up with wands. Well now Tuqrox is lvl23 and i've not seen a single UMD item anywhere, far as I recall. Not in shops or being sold by other players, nor from drops. Is it right to assume that UMD skill items are very rare or am I just unlucky? At the moment it would be nice to know, since i'd do well to delevel sooner, rather then later, to get those UMD points up

There is no available UMD boost from store items or enchantment. It MAY exist as a rare drop; I don't know if there are any UMD-boosting items in the OC, but that would be the only likelihood. |

UMD does lose all it's value if anyone can get high enough UMD to use anything. |

Yup, its bad enough that any class can dump points into it so that by the time they are epic they can use just about any item and cast some spells from scrolls.... hell, even Thrud the Orc Barbarian with 6 INT can do that! |

Well if thurd the barbarian with 6 int has 15 charisma yah, he sure can well not all items, some things do require up to 28 UMd to successfully use and scrolls even higher for guarenteed usage. but if thurd has 6 charima he'll have to invest solidly and at level 27 may be able to use the mid tier monk boots. |

Scrolls are the only ones that are even remotely difficult to get enough UMD to. SoZ UMD check works different from the original NWN 2 one, it doesn't relate to the value of item anymore, just solid: Emulate an Alignment: Minimum DC10 Emulate a Class: Minimum DC13 Use a Wand: DC10 Use a Scroll: Lvl 1(DC13) Lvl 2(DC15) Lvl 3(DC17) Lvl 4(DC19) Lvl 5(DC21) Lvl 6(DC23) Lvl 7(DC25) Lvl 8(DC27) Lvl 9(DC29) Compared to PnP: Decipher a written spell 25 + spell level Use a scroll 20 + caster level Use a wand 20 Emulate a class feature 20 Emulate a race 25 Emulate an alignment 30 |

So Thrud invests. As does everyone who wants to use said items. Keeping in mind that they can get unequipped and lost on transfer, if you don't have 13 UMD without CHA bonus item. UMD isn't meant to be the swiss army knife of I can use anything. You put points in it, you get the benefits. End of story. Edit. btw, if we go by PnP, no matter how many points Thurd has in UMD, he'll never use scrolls, because Barbarians are illiterate, can't read or write. Not even magic. |

I'm prone to agree with this, although i'll have to delevel a pretty 3-4 levels now but oh, well, it' wont take to long to regain, which is the only comfort :lol: I suppose I just assumed with all the epic loot, crazy xp output and so forth, there would also be UMD items readily available. |

The ability to "cheat" past all D&D restrictions and use anything IMO is something that shouldn't depend on one's luck, but one's investment Same reason why we don't have Immunity items... if you want one, either get spells or classes that grant them.

We do try to be true to the feel of D&D, and that includes having character roles instead of characters that can "do everything (tm)". Not that we're perfect, but we atleast try keeping it in mind
