Item Changes

Wands and Scrolls

In order to use charges of higher-level spells, based on the spell's innate level, you must have sufficiently high class levels. Sorcerers and Wizards may use wands/scrolls of twice their level. Bards, Clerics, Druids, Rangers, Paladins may use wands/scrolls up to their level.

So for example to use an arcane wand of Improved Invisibility (level 4 spell), you must have 2 levels in Wizard (or Sorcerer) or 4 levels as a Bard. A multiclass character with 1 level of Wizard and 5 levels of Fighter would not be able to use such a wand or scroll but instead must have 2 levels of Wizard (or Sorcerer). A character with 1 level of Wizard and 5 levels of Fighter would, however, still be able to use wands with level 2 spells (Tasha's Hideous Laughter, Flame Weapon, etc.). A multiclass character with 2 levels of Cleric and 3 levels of Fighter would only be able to use divine wands up to level 2. A low-level character with 3 levels of Ranger can only use divine wands up to level 3. Et cetera.

Note that only the highest level caster level is counted. A 1 cleric/1 druid would still only be able to use level 1 wands.

If you have insufficient caster levels to use such a wand or scroll, you will simply be unable to do so but will not lose a charge.

Use Magic Device has also been adjusted to follow this pattern. In addition to the standard Use Magic Device roll, you must also have sufficient levels in a class granting the Use Magic Device skill (bard, rogue, or assassin). So for example in order to get a standard roll to use a level 4 wand, you must have 4 levels of rogue/bard/assassin (or some mix). If you don't have sufficient class levels, there is a 20%/level to have a chance at the standard roll. Note however that UMD-granting classes combine, so for example a 1 rogue/1 bard/1 assassin has a 60% chance at standard UMD roll for a level 4 wand. If they don't make that chance, they fail and lose a charge. If they do make that 60% chance, they make a standard UMD roll which is either successful (get the spell and lose a charge) or failed (don't lose a charge, as per standard).

UMD has been unchanged in terms of how scrolls work.

Polearms

Medicine

Medicinal Herbs

Herbs will heal 1 hp/round based on the result of a Heal check. Skill Focus: Heal adds an additional 1hp/round. The Rogue Perk "Physician" adds an additional 1hp/round.

• The total amount healed is the difference between your Heal check and the DC.
• While out of combat, using a Medicinal Herb will roll 1d20+Heal vs DC 11 to determine the amount healed.
• While in combat, using a Medicinal Herb will roll 1d20+Heal vs DC 16 to determine the amount healed.
• Higher quality herbs may add bonuses to the check. This will be visible in the log if so.
• Herbs will not stop applying their regeneration effect once the target reaches Uninjured, and can be used to add a short duration Regeneration effect.

Healer's Kit

Medicinal Herbs can be added to a Healer's Kit item, granting the Kit charges that can be used according to the rules above. Adding herbs to a Kit is an excellent way to manage inventory weight and help keep medical resources organized in one place, but it is important to know that "higher quality herbs" will lose their bonus when added to a kit.
