Did it with a zombie a long while ago.

Are we talking about the mw thieve´s kit that gives a bonus to open lock and disable device? Then it´s some picks, a saw, a small hammer, pliers, skeleton keys, maybe a crowbar and a small flask of oil and such things. All the things you would need to open a lock or to disable a device. No stain...

Yes. You don´t need to be able to cast that spell to respond to a sending. You can send 25 words or less as an answer instantly.

Friday is my day.

We only use opposed rolls for tumble checks. Works pretty well. It´s tumble check roll vs. attack roll. It prevent´s the rogue from only taking 15 ranks in tumble and feeling save to tumble around on the battlefield like crazy and adds some spice to combat.

Try alcohol with some acid. Citric or acetic acid should do, if not, try hydrochloric. But only a dash.

Dragon? Nah, last time we tasted a red dragon it had a strong aftertaste like sulphur. My favourite is the calzone golem (from Something´s Cooking).

Some levels rogue, 2 to 4 levels Fighter and a few levels of deepwoodsniper. High DEX, decent STR and CON. You´ll dish out a lot of ranged damage -either sneak or not and you can stand some rounds in melee. Works well for my current character (rog10/ftr3/dws5), currently slain by some npc...

You´re wasting item slots.

There´s a PrC in Song&Silence, the Thief Acrobat. She can make a cartwheel attack. Basically it´s a charge while tumbling. If you beat a DC20 tumble check you can make a sneak attack. If you don´t beat the DC it´s just a normal charge. Maybe that helps. Orm

Treat the hook as a stump knife from Sword&Fist attached to your off hand stump. Stats like a simple dagger, but exotic weapon. Orm

That´s what Gather Information is all about. If the PCs want/need the answer to a specific question, let them roll GI. If the DM doesn´t want the PCs to know, the NPCs just lie (Bluff vs. Sense Motive) or it´s a DC 40+ GI check. Many players neglect GI as a skill ;) Orm

We use a houserule that the rogue can swap sneak attack damage dice for feats that have to be chosen from a small list of rogue class feats. It works pretty well for my rogue and I don´t think he´s overpowered compared to a standard rogue. Orm

Have a high level sorcerer/wizard cast hardening (a 6th level spell from Magic of Faerun) on your greathammer. It increases hardness by one point per caster level. So at least +13 to hardness :)

I think Weapon Specialization is fine. It´s just 2 points of damage more per hit. E.g. 1d6 or 1d6+2 isn´t too much for a feat and 4 levels of fighter. At least you have to make a successful touch attack. Hitting the square only deals 1 point splash damage. So maybe WS or Improved Critical only...

From the SRD So no -4 penalty for splash weapons, and you´re proficient with them. Were I your DM, I´d let you spend feats on that. It´s not more powerful than many other feats. And stylish... For improvised weapons check the Drunken Master from Sword&Fist. He gets the ability to use almost...

Thanks for all your input, so far. My character is a rogue/archer who doesn´t want to spend too many feats/PrC/skills on UMD. It´s just an option to use some wands that a wizard, who lately deceased, left with the group.

Hi all. The title says it. How can I increase the check result for UMD? Are there any ways despite the obvious ones, i.e. increasing CHA or synergy bonuses from Spellcraft or Decipher Script? Thanks in advance, Orm

In our group Dodge gives a +1 dodge bonus against all opponents. IMO it´s not overpowered at all, especially at higher levels where attack bonuses increase way faster than AC. And it keeps things easier to calculate.

You don´t need components, you need a focus to cast Alarm . So there´s no bell lying on the floor or anything else like that.
