I didn't consider the possibility that someone would purchase 9th level scrolls (apparently Agladan had, he told me had considered using exactly your "tactics", except it doesn't suit his play style). I will admit that there are weaknesses to the strategy of the UMD wielder, BUT for practical purposes, NOBODY can identify what you are casting until it is done... and then it is a tad late to stop. It is even difficult to identify WHO the possible UMD users are... Are all the non-UMD users to sit around trying to second guess who could possibly be going to cast a 9th level spell from a scroll?? Its not like you have BARD stamped on your forehead when you enter the arena. You provided the single biggest shock, and you very nearly got away with it. You probably would have if you had kept a lower profile for the first 5 rounds, and let some of the others get started killing each other...Personally I'd want to limit the item level to what a character of that level could create... so that would remove the ioun stone-antimagic field combo from the 10th level game, but that's just me...However I do not see that strategy as being so overpowering, it has some very serious weaknesses...Weaknesses that Agladan seems to have thought about alot, and he seems to have things somewhat under control.</blockquote>
