Use Magic Device: Scrolls of Permanency: Caster level

[Sleep-Walker]

Hello All,

I have a 12th Level Rogue with some awesome UMD values.

Whenever I play sorcerers and wizards I am a big fan of permanency.

Therefore I started wondering whether I could pick up scrolls of permanency and scrolls of the other spell in question and cast permanency using UMD.

Logically I think I can, unfortunately, we hit the barrier of the minimum required caster level.

If my level 12 rogue uses a scroll of permanency what is his caster level? Does it come down to the level that the scroll was penned at>????

Thanks.

You would have to buy the permanancy scroll penned at the level you need permanancy cast at (9th level for detect magic, etc). You could do it, but it'd be costly. Also if someone targets a dispel at you it can dispel the permanent effect.

Cool idea, but not without risk.

Also keep in mind that my general rule is that scrolls of permanency can not be used to fix spells which the rule is "caster only".

I don't understand your point.

If I am reading the scroll, then I am the caster? Same is true for scrolls of true strike for example.

If you cast from a scroll (including using UMD) you are the caster.
