 +=== Magic item use ===
 +
 +You will notice that illusionist magic item restrictions are not specifically called out in Unearthed Arcana. This is because the intention was to write the tables to support upcoming classes in future publications, such as Dragon magazine. Illusionists are still restricted to items involving illusion, and as specified in their class description.((UA 86, "Items are usable by characters of all classes unless restriction(s) specified".))

-Bards are an exception to the regular [[dual-class|dual-classing]] rulesA character intending to become a bard need not meet the standard ability score requirements for dual-classing, merely the requirements for the bard class. Furthermore, the character is able to switch from thief to bard even before surpassing their fighter level, if desired. +See [[Bard]].
- +
-Only when a half-elf intends to become a bard can that race dual-class. This is a special exception. +
- +
-If a dual-classed character abandons plans to become a bard, or if they become ineligible due to surpassed prerequisite level limits, the player must select "fighter", "thief", or "fighter/thief" as the character’s class. The latter option is available only to half-elves (as a multi-class), or to humans who meet the standard ability score requirements for non-bard dual-classing. If the fighter or thief class is lost, so too is XP accumulated for that class. +
