Unlike Warlock, DFA does not have Deceive Item class feature. In my experience, just having descent CHA and 9 ranks of UMD skill does not make a UMD monkey. The modifier will not be high enough to use even the lowest level magic items constantly.If I were you, I will play a Bard instead. Magic Savant spell in Complete Mage gives you +4 insight bonus to a UMD check. You can even take 10 when reaching L7 (and having 10 ranks in UMD). Also, unlike DFA, CHA is the main stat for a Bard.Anyway, if you want to make a UMD monkey, here are some good feats and items available for a L6 PC.#FeatsMagical Aptitude (PHB）+2 to Spellcraft and UMD.Skill Focus (UMD) (PHB)Yes, +3 bonus helps.Magic Device Attunement (Complete Mage P.44)Once you make a UMD check to activate an item, you can use that item without additional UMD checks for that day.#ItemsHeward's Handy Haversack (DMG)Can retrieve an item without provoking AoO. Always useful for an item user.Spellsight Spectacles (Magic Item Compendium P.138; 2,500gp)+5 competence bonus on UMD checks for using scrolls.Tunic of Steady Spellcasting (Complete Adventurer P.136: 2,500gp)+5 competence bonus to Concentration. You still need to make a concentration check for using a scroll defensively.</blockquote>
