[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 502211, member: 1465"] Yes, I have always thought that UMD is one of the greatest abilities of Rogues and Bards. But definitely I wouldn't say it's overpowered. I don't remember now the various DCs, but IIRC they are almost all high enough so that nobody (non-epic at least) can be 100% sure to succeed, plus you can't take 10 in UMD (I don't remember if in the special case of UMD a natural 1 has always bad consequences). You may be able to use "forbidden" magic items, but probably they won't be working all the time (which will have IMO a very funny consequence in the game). For these reasons I don't think it's [I]too[/I] powerful: you can use every magic item, but: 1. you still have to buy it :) 2. sometimes it doesn't work 3. you're still limited in how many items you can wear/use at a time [/QUOTE]
