[QUOTE="BMF, post: 346361, member: 3149"] Yet again we find people whining about things that are "too powerful." This time it is skill boost items.... typical. For the record, I allow all skill boosting items including use magic device, bluff, diplomacy and all others. And I don't have any balance problems with it. Remember that most skills are opposed by other skills. Regarding the Use Magic Device items, it is well within the scope of "game balance" that mid to high level characters should have access to some magic. Even paladins and rangers gain low level spell use. rogues, if they want to spend the money on a UMD item, should be able to. They will still have to spend more money on some magic devices to use. If you let rogues have UMD items, what will go so wrong with your precious "game balance?" Oh no, the rogue might spend 4,500 gp on a wand of Cat's Grace!! :eek: ... Please. By the time a character has the 1000's of gp to spend on these sorts of items, it is high time that they have such items anyway. That's game balance. [/QUOTE]
