[QUOTE="Werebat, post: 3960508, member: 40158"] My last PC was a draconic human who basically took 2 levels of fighter, then 1 level of rogue and repeated this pattern (more or less) thrroughout his career. He got very good at UMD fairly early on. Remember, you can spend all of your skill points on one skill if you want to, so long as it doesn't go above CL+3 (assuming it is a class skill). So a 6th level human fighter with a 12 Int could take 1 level of rogue and dump all 10 of his skill points into UMD. Throw in a 12 Cha, an Ioun Stone +2 Cha, and a Circlet of Persuasion. Now you're making your UMD checks with a +15 bonus to the roll (plus you get a +2 to your checks if you've ever activated your wand before, but that isn't relevant to this discussion as we're talking about wands with 1 charge). You'll make it most of the time, especially if you're in Eberron and are using Action Points. Give him a few more levels and he'll be able to be even more accurate. By level 11 there is no reason he couldn't succeed every time -- earlier if he wants to optimize. - Ron ^*^ [/QUOTE]
