Ranger Trapper Archetype


Rules Questions


I was thinking of making a trapper archetype ranger for 2 levels to get the Disable Device class skill. It gives up spell casting but since I was only going to dip in ranger for 2 levels i was never going to get spells anyway. however the part below in bold, what type of magic items can he use. Wands, potions etc. thanks.

"Trap: At 5th level, a trapper learns how to create a snare trap and one other ranger trap of her choice. At 7th level and every two levels thereafter, she learns another trap. The trapper can use these traps a total number of times per day equal to 1/2 her ranger level + her Wisdom modifier. Once a trap is learned, it can’t be unlearned and replaced with a different type of trap. The trapper cannot select an individual trap more than once. This ability replaces the ranger’s spells class feature. Trappers do not gain any spells or spellcasting ability, do not have a caster level, and cannot use spell trigger and spell completion magic items."


Everyone one can use Potions, Magic Weapons, Armor, and other slotted items but he can't use wands or scrolls without using UMD.

I don't understand the question.

Are you answering your own question?


Thanks for clarifying that for me Dread Knight.

Normally a ranger would be able to use wands and scrolls and such of spells on the ranger spell list. But because the trapper doesn't get any spellcasting ability, he can't use those items.


Related question: Can the trapper archetype use magic items normally with respect to the spell list of a different class in which they have levels?
