Can a rogue sneak in to the Portable Hole?

[Chilldude]

I made my first caster a few days ago and found out about something I had no idea even existed until now, the teleport spell. Someone was telling me to go to the Portable Hole and I had no idea what they were talking about, they explained it's a zone you have to teleport to that only arcanes can access via the teleport spell. They told me to go buy a teleport scroll and check it out...

Wow!

You can teleport all over the place, I've got a new favorite toy to play with. =D This got me to thinking, rogues can add a point to UMD every level, so they get like 19 from that alone. There are also items that boost it a bit, and rogue skill boost will bump it up some too. If the rogue had some charisma it seems like they could get close enough to the scroll's UMD of 36 that they might be able to use it, even if they fail more often than not.

Is it possible?

Possible? I've been running a tab there since the place opened. ;)

that and greater teleport if their UMD is really good ;)

i always get a kick out of going into the portable hole on a non-caster :)

[BrianTheHun]

Yes, of course. Rogues can get extremely high UMD scores. Most can get enough to teleport (the shortest distance between 2 points in DDO is a teleport scroll) :), as well as hit no fails on heal, res scrolls, etc.

[voodoogroves]

Most rogues max UMD because we're all basically lazy. Teleport rocks.

PS you can buy lots of cool stuff for your rogue in the Hole too...

I hitched a ride on a caster's back the other day and spirit bound in the portable hole. It's fun to "watch the faces" of casters as a Monk walks in to heal up.

For classes that can't get UMD easily, like fighters and barbarians, the Royal Guard Mask (http://compendium.ddo.com/wiki/Item:Royal_Guard_Mask) is available.

_____
14 Cha = 2 Cha modifier

UMD
23 Ranks
02 Cha modifier
04 GH
03 Cartushe
______
32 + Rogue skill boost (+4) = 36

Not only possible, but ideal. Welcome to never running from place to place. If you can sneak up to 39, you can no fail heal scrolls for game changing self survivability.

Enjoy!

As a wise man once said, "Life without UMD is not life at all."

[Chette]

UMD is the most powerful skill in the game. If you can get it to a useable amount and don't then you are really not living up to your characters potential. With relatively easy to obtain gear any rogue or bard splash (bards also get UMD as a class skill) can get to 39 UMD, the magic number so that you can use a heal scroll no-fail.

I max UMD on most of my characters even if it's not a class skill, because I'm a lazy bum and can't live without teleport.

My barbarian won a rod of teleport in a DDO lottery a few months ago, but I've never used it. Perhaps I should pop into the Portable Hole with it, just to freak people out. :)

The Protable Hole is where I buy all my Displacement scrolls. ~:D~

:/ All my characters including my fighter and barbarian frequent the portable hole ...
