Use magic device on artifacts

[Talcrion]

Could you trick an artifact into helping you even if you aren't the appropriate alignment to use it using Use Magic Device to emulate another alignment?

A player of mine brought it up, it does seem like he would be able to trick it , though I"m not sure how often he'd need to make the checks,

lol sadly this is the easier part to hammer out, convincing the paladin to let him use it till they can destroy it is another matter...

If you are using the check to emulate an alignment or some other quality in an ongoing manner, you need to make the relevant Use Magic Device check once per hour.

hmmm silly me, I must have overlooked that, well I don't think that's going to work to well if he needs to make hourly DC 30 checks, something tells me that would just result in his brain being eaten lol'

Thanks for the help
