: Activating any of these kinds of items is a standard action, unless the item description says otherwise. Spell trigger items are those which are activated exactly as if they are spells, ie, they provoke, require speaking aloud, gestures, and usually a focus or component. Command Word items require the user to speak aloud, which breaks Stealth, but they do not provoke (unless the item says they do). Use-Activated items are exactly that, items activated by using them. Magic weapons and armor, potions, etc, are all use-activated items. | : Activating any of these kinds of items is a standard action, unless the item description says otherwise.

=== Adjusted Dexterity Modifier === | |||
Your adjusted dexterity modifier is the LESSER of your Dexterity modifier, or the Max Dex listed for either your armor or your shield. That is, if you have a Dexterity modifier of +5 (by having a 20 Dexterity score), but your armor has a Max Dex value of 4, your adjusted dexterity modifier is 4, not 5. | |||
Adjusted dexterity modifier is ONLY used for Armor Class calculations. It does not limit your dexterity modifier for any other calculations, such as skill checks, Reflex saving throws, etc. | |||
