Use Magic Device

Patch Notes

 * A player's effective caster level for purposes of using a scroll is equal to his character level. The player may not use a scroll with this skill if the scroll requires a higher caster level than the player's character level.
 * Artificers have an effective caster level of two higher than their class level, or their character level, whichever is greater, when determining whether or not they can use a scroll. However, when using a scroll, the Artificer uses his actual Artificer level to determine at what level the scroll's spell functions.  This may result in a spell that would be otherwise weaker than the minimum possible.
 * A player using a scroll with Use Magic Device may activate the scroll at any level between the scroll's minimum level and his own character level. Attempting to activate the scroll at a higher level results in a commensurate increase in the Use Magic Device DC.
