I didn't see a link to it in the SRD stickied post, so I have no clue how official it is.There's plenty of examples of this sort of item... bag of tricks is the same way, except its trigger (throwing a ball from the bag) is most definately a standard action. Useable 10/week.Or a cloak of the bat - 7 minutes per day - not only use activated, but in 2 seperate ways... I'd call the holding the edges a free action and the polymorphing a standard action, but you may think otherwise.I dislike use activated items for probably the same reasons you do... they aren't clearly defined (apart from the drinking a potion stuff), and seem able to cause all sorts of problems. But thats ok, because its up to the GM to determine whats allowed to be made *shrug*</blockquote>
