Yes, you can keep trying. Each attempt just takes longer than a check to activate an item.

The only restriction on trying again is if you roll a 1.

As it turns out, the inferior human blood is dominant. Lowest common denominator and all that. ;)

Upon re-reading the UMD skill description, it appears there is only chance of a mishap when "activating blindly". In all other uses of the skill, failing the check simply means you fail to activate the item. Failing with a natural 1, of course, has an additional penalty.

Potentially, yes, but it would be up to your DM to allow creatures not specifically listed in the MM. Just make sure to determine all the stats of the forms you might take beforehand. The "familiarity" restriction is an easy way to handle this. Your character is not familiar with any forms you...

Above is the pertinent section from the SRD. It is listed under Magic Items>Scrolls rather than under the UMD skill description.

The +2 to Reflex/Will saves is certainly nice. Evasion, however, is not very potent when wearing medium armor.

The 3.0 version of True Necromancer was another class greater anyspell helped the character qualify for. The requirement was simply to be able to cast a few, specific, arcane necromancy spells. This allowed entry into the PrC without taking any arcane caster levels. Has the requirement been...

A Warforged Artificer/Fighter would be impressive. Artificers surpass even Clerics in their ability to self-buff. A few of their infusions (spells) only work on Warforged. An example is the 4th-level iron construct, it grants the benefits of iron body, but only to constructs. DR 15/Adamantine is...

Keep in mind this will take you at least two rounds of preparation and most likely at least four. Displacement: 1 rnd/lvl Haste: 1 rnd/lvl Blur: 1 min/lvl Shield: 1 min/lvl Mage Armor: 1 hr/lvl Depending on the situation, you may have enough warning to pre-cast your 1 min/lvl spells. You don't...

Thanks, that's good to know. Arms and Equipment Guide is one book I haven't read.

Bracers of Armor +1 are a wondrous item, not armor. They do not, therefore, qualify for the Fortification enhancement.

Actually, I'd describe Tomas as a human fighter who gains the half-Valheru template. ;)

While there is an entry for arrows under each bow type, all arrows cost and weigh exactly the same amount. Based on this, I'd say there is not difference between shortbow and longbow arrows. Granted, logically, they would be different, but I think we all know applying logic and real-life...

Rather than starting with all the monster HD and the LA, Savage Species introductes the concept of "racial levels". You take them just as you would class levels, but instead of class abilites, you gain the abilites of the race. This allows you to start a monster race in a much lower-level party...

I don't know whether a Vrock would heed her call or not, but attempting to summon one would be an intentional evil act. There would be no need to remove the ability. I don't think her Energy Drain ability is intrinsically evil. The spell energy drain is not evil, and the ability is basically a...

(emphasis added) An extremely strict reading of the description could be that since you prepared, for example, bless and cast (spontaneously) cure light wounds you did not fulfil the requirement to both prepare and cast bless and can, therefore, not use the Pearl of Power to restore bless to...

Are you asking whether the pearl of power would restore the originally prepared spell or the spontaneously cast spell? If you are, I think it would restore the originally prepared spell.

Great idea.

Theme-wise Acolyte of the Skin works very well for the Warlock. Unfortunately, it severely weakens a Warlock to take more than a level or two. The 1/2 casting progression in exchange for fairly minor benefits is painful. There aren't really any Warlock prestige classes out there. The only one...
