Spell Storing Item DC's are 23, 26, 29 and 32 (respectively for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th level spells). Even with a +3 Cha modifier your best bet at 1st level is a +7 to UMD checks.This can be boosted up to a wopping +18 at 5th level, expecially if you take the Warforged Artificer Racial Substituion Levels (and choose a 1Handed weapon as your weapon familiar) but this also requires that you take Skill Focus [Use Magic Device] at 3rd level and assumes you've gotten at least a +2 Cloak of Charisma ( Cha 18 or 19, +4 Cha mod ). At 6th Level you can take Magical Apptitude and crank your UMD check up to +21. 6th Level before you get a 50/50 chance at hitting the DC 32 needed for a 4th level Spell Storing item. A Non Warforged without the Weapon Familiar is worse off. However, if playing as RAW, getting that Weapon Familiar sacrifices the Retain Essense ability (something I dont agree with exactly, but not all the racial sub. levels I agree with anyways so *shrugs*).Spell Storing Item is great but the DC's are hard to Hit cause you wont get your artisian bonus and it would be hard to argue any of the UMD Synergies.A Human Artificer is better off earlier on as they can take Skill Focus [UMD] and Magical Affinity both at 1st level for a wopping (assuming only +3 Cha Modifier) +12 bonus to UMD checks at 1st level (+13 if you have ae +4 Cha Modifier). However Once they've got that, not much else can be used to improve them.I think I'd also like to point out that your suffering a Non-Profiency penalty to ... almost everything STR and DEX based equal to the armor check penalty because Adamantine Body is still considered Heavy Armor. You note that its ment to be something of a hybrid Mithril/Adamantine... but nothing really suggests that just cause the joins were ment to be mithril that the body counts as medium (I'd advise either making a new 'body' feat if this is your intention, take mithril body instead, or accept that your gonna be hating life till you can get another feat so you can get profiency in heavy armor.</blockquote>
