    Default a few questions

    So I am a Helf monk with the cleric dili. I was wondering if I put pts into UMD (will only reach max 20 with items and skill pts) would that increase the % of ability to use scrolls. For example, I have a 75% chance to use greater restore scrolls (UMD 44) with no UMD, so would adding UMD increase that percentage at all?

    I was also wondering if % of doublestrike stacks. So if I am in wind stance, would items and ED like Hail of Blows or Running with wind stack?

    Lastly, I was wondering how much SR one has is enough. As a monk, I have SR 30 (lvl 20 +10). Would that be enough or would getting +9 more be better/make a differnce?

    No, as a H-E Cleric Dil you're not using UMD to use scrolls, you're using a Caster Level Check. Basically, casters can use scrolls that are slightly higher level than they can cast by making a roll of the dice. The Cleric Dil makes you a 10th level Cleric, which can't cast Heal yet, so to use Heal you have to make that Caster Level Check roll.

    I was also wondering if % of doublestrike stacks. So if I am in wind stance, would items and ED like Hail of Blows or Running with wind stack?
    Yeah, but they've done a pretty poor job of making various item sources of Doublestrike stack--which on the one hand is expected, but on the other hand is confusing...like you'd think the Doublestrike proc caused by the Sun Soul set would stack with your Spare Hand or Alchemical or whatever Doublestrike chance since it is a rare on-hit chance to trigger...but it doesn't. But Items (well, highest item) + Wind Stance + EDs will stack. The ED stuff will stack with itself, so you can load up on Doublestrike there if you want.

    Lastly, I was wondering how much SR one has is enough. As a monk, I have SR 30 (lvl 20 +10). Would that be enough or would getting +9 more be better/make a differnce?
    I've never cared about it, Saves are already high enough as a Monk, there are better things in GMoF to spend your points on.

    Spell Resistance never stacks, so the highest value you have is as much as you're going to get. In a way this is unfortunate because epic casters will penetrate this 100% of the time, but you got it for free, so you're not really losing anything.
