Unchained Consolidated Skills - Rogues and Use Magic Device


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

I'm planning to use the Consolidated Skills rules in my running campaign but I've noticed that the rogue hasn't the Use Magic Device skill (now the Spellcraft consolidated skill).

So, in the Consolidated Skills with the Use Magic Device using INT instead of CHA I don't know how the rogue is capable of activating magic items and how to convert the actual rogue to the new rules.

Could anyone help me with this? Thanks!


All it means is that rogues don't get the +3 class skill bonus to UMD and use a different ability score. They can still do it, but you have to build them a bit differently.

Note that traits that gave UMD as a class skill still give you an extra +3 (total of +4) in situations like this, so Dangerously Curious rogues are likely to be very common.

Oh I see! Thanks for the answer

Another thing I was thinking is to use Grouped Consolidated Skills but the progression until level 8 is quite disappointing if you're using a rogue because you only have access to one until you reach 8.

Does anyone have used Grouped Consolidated Skills ore tweaked it some way?
