General
Use Magic Device is a class skill for Bards and Rogues. Its mitigating statistic is Charisma.
Functionality
UMD allows a character to equip/use items that their class or race would not usually be able to. A UMD skill check is made each time the character attempts to equip or use such an item.
Items
Equipping items using the UMD skill does not initiate a roll but rather requires that the character has, at the moment the item is equipped, the amount of skill required to use that item.
Race restricted jewlery and clothing require a UMD skill of the item's minimum level plus seven to equip, weapons and armor require the item's minimum level plus ten.
The vast majority of alignment restricted items require a UMD of 20.
Scrolls and Wands
When a player tries to use a scroll/wand of a spell that their class couldn't usually cast a UMD check is initiated. The player rolls 1d20 and adds that to their UMD skill. The difficulty class of this check is equal to 18 plus twice the scroll/wand's caster level.
