I wouldn’t have thought about using UMD on embedded components, that’s quite clever! The synergy with Cha classes is also very sweet.

Hmm, now that I think about it, I’m not sure I mentioned Skill Focus in the article… that’s a bit of an oversight…

In other news, welcome to the blog! I hope you like it!

I know it’s an old post, but I’ve just found the blog. At any rate in the last campaign I played in, I ran an artificer.

Well, I say artificer, it was a Human Paragon 1 / Marshal 1 / Artificer for the rest of the levels.

This meant with CHA 18, as all my other stats were dump stats, and with skill focus UMD, I was reliably hitting DC 25 to emulate being a warforged.

This meant I could use embedded components, as they’re magic items that required the user to be a warforged…. yes, cyborgimancer!

All in all, a very useful skill.
