Staves without UMD checks

[cdkc]

If I have a staff with 3 spells on it and my class knows only one of the spells am I able to cast the other spells on the staff without a UMD check? Specifically a druid with a staff of fire knows wall of fire but not fireball or burning hands

Nope. Spell-trigger items like staves only let you cast the spells on your class list(s) freely; for any others you need UMD.

You do only need to know one of the spells in order to recharge the staff, FWIW.
