Given that CHA is a dump stat

any builds out there using Skill Points to up UMD? Just curious. Not so much concerned with self-healing as much as I'm concerned with itemization.

Shining Star is a charisma based monk ability. With an 8 charisma, i have a 29 dc, imagine the dc if you actually put points in...was thinking about it for a minute...but nahhhh...

Not taking UMD was a mistake. I want to use Shield wands dammit. When I can Lesser Reincarnate, I will be taking UMD. However, I'm less concerned with itemization and more concerned with using scrolls/wands. Maintaining a constant 20+ would require wearing lots of junk that I don't want to wear.

I want to use Shield wands dammit.

This is basically the only reason I want to get UMD if/when I TR or use one of the other Reincarnates on my monk. It's hard to get enough UMD going for the 10 minute shield wands on a monk, but the 5 minute ones are pretty doable.
