Roleplaying Discuss tips, resources, and concerns with roleplay both inside and outside the Layonara community.


Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

Default Use Magic Device while on DM Quests

I can say from personal experience that I have rolled -every- single possible check I have, even Gather Information and Parry, on a DM quest except for Use Magic Device. Because of this I was wondering what the extent of the ability is? Can a Rogue swap a UMD roll for Spellcraft?
It's kind of open-ended, butI would like to make use of those ranks I keep pouring into it.

Default Re: Use Magic Device while on DM Quests

I think you do make use of them by being able to use items that your character would not be able to use (IE things only meant for casters). But yes, I would think from time to time you could use umd checks on a quest--but that is up to each GM and what is happening. I personally think UMD should NOT replace spellcraft checks, your character is not a caster after all--I know I would not allow it to happen.
