Use Magic Device
« on: April 05, 2021, 05:05:14 pm »
I would like to know if the Use Magic Device skill allows the use of scrolls and wands (on Layonara).

I think it works like standard  nwn.  Nwn wiki is a good guide.  One caveat is if your a mage that specializes then they cant use scrolls of the forbidden/omitted school even with UMD

It works fine yes.  There was a formula for rogues trying to use scrolls based on the scroll spell level.  Cant recall it but i kinda remember needing a umd in hi 20's to use 9th lvl scrolls.  There are some kinks with rogue and another spellcasting class when using scrolls but cant recall.  I think a umd of 15 to 20 should let you use most items.

Yup it works, my rogue can use scrolls and wands with UMD.

As the others have expressed, UMD does function on Layo. However, the DCs are higher than stock NWN, I'm pretty sure. My suggestion is if you plan to use the skill, keep it maxed out.
