ok, so casting Transformation makes you loose all spellcasting abilities: litteral text below:
You become a virtual fighting machine—stronger, tougher, faster, and more skilled in combat. Your mind-set changes so that you relish combat and you can’t cast spells, even from magic items.
You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, a +4 natural armor bonus to AC, a +5 competence bonus on Fortitude saves, and proficiency with all simple and martial weapons. Your base attack bonus equals your character level (which may give you multiple attacks).
You lose your spellcasting ability, including your ability to use spell trigger or spell completion magic items, just as if the spells were no longer on your class list.
My question is: While under effect of Tenser's Transformation, could I activate magical items and spell triggers with the UMD (Use magic device)skill?
Imo the spell makes u loose the ability because it is linked to spellcastingCLASS, while UMD is a roguelike skill which emulated magic use in an entirely different way and from a different CLASS.
My character is a Rogue 3/Wizard 5/Arcane Trickster 6, able to cast 6th lvl spells and with UMD
Please give me your opinion :)
