Found that term, take 10 (right) and didn't know what it meant. Now, I have a clue, thanks...
Take 10 means you don’t roll a Skill check, but assume you rolled a 10. Basically, it’s for nondangerous things were you could take your time to do it right.Found that term, take 10 (right) and didn't know what it meant. Now, I have a clue, thanks...View attachment 293341
There are at least 2 exceptions that I know of, both the Warlock and the Artificer have features that allow them to take 10 on UMD checks:Except for UMD.
That skill has a special note that states you can't take 10.
Skill Mastery allows you to take 10 "even if stress and distractions would normally prevent her from doing so"
It does not state that you can bypass a restriciton in the skill itself, only the conditional restriction.
Certain class abilities allow you to take 10 on UMD, the warlock and artificer get them.
I believe UMD is the only skill that specifically disallows taking 10, regardless of the conditions.
