Alignment and UMD

Post by Spriggan Bride » Thu May 27, 2021 3:46 am

I have a character with more than adequate UMD trying to test out the Goblin flail on the PGCC and am getting a message than they are "not the right alignment" for that item. Someone else told me they were having a similar problem with an alignment restricted item, should pass the UMD check but aren't able to.

I swore UMD used to be able to bypass alignment restrictions. Is that not so any longer or am I remembering wrong?

The builder of the item kinda forgot that the custom UMD requirement doesn't bypass the base game UMD requirement and can only be used to increase the UMD requirement.

Given the value of the item it actually has a 35 UMD requirement to bypass alignment.
