10-10-06, 11:36 PM Anyone see the Rod of Many Wands from Complete Mage? You can, simultaneously as a full-round action, activate three wands at once. It drains a charge from each wand equal to the amount of wands "loaded" in the rod with a maximum of three wands loaded...so...how would this work with a Dual Wand Wielder? Does this allow for six at a time? What about Metamagic Spell Trigger? What about Metamagic Wands?

So many unanswered questions...so much more power for the Artificer.

10-10-06, 11:50 PM Not having the book ... to me it seems metamagic item would work, but metamagic spelltrigger would not (because you are activating the rod instead of the wands).

:twitch: :blink: :shocked: :uh-huh: :OMG! :bounce:

That's just an instant 3 times more damage that I've calculated on all of the Wand-Using Builds out there!

10-11-06, 12:22 AM 3 times the damage, but 3 times the wand charge burn. Thank god for people who pay attention to wbl. You can nova, but you will be poor soon if you keep it up.

Still using 3 of the same wand is cheaper than using a metamagic spell trigger to cast the twin metamagic spell.

The real issue is how would the infusion Metamagic Item works with item.

10-11-06, 12:23 AM Well, I would assume you would only use it when you absolutley need somthing dead NOW.

10-11-06, 12:35 AM Perhaps I over-reacted a bit. This couldn't be used with Double Wand Wielder since Double Wand Wielder requires a Full-Round Action to use. However, This Actually Negates the need to use Double Wand Wielder in the First Place. An Item that does it for you and that can actually do better :nonono:

This is a huge power boost to the Arcane Thesis builds (and yes Artificers). How much does this baby cost?

9 times. It takes 1 charge from each wand for each wand in the rod: thus 3 charges from three wands = 9 charges.

EDIT: I realize you may have meant 3 times the wand charge to damage ratio.

10-11-06, 08:26 AM now all we gotta figure out is how to activate two rods in a round :D

A cool 27000 GP. Or, 13,500 gp + 1080 XP over 28 days.
