Cleric wand = 2*3 (minimum caster level) * 750 gp = 4,500 gp

Paladin wand 1*2 (minimum caster level) * 750 gp = 1500

Note, you have to FIND one for sale. Paladins are not noted for their manufacture of magic items.

Paladins are not noted for their manufacture of magic items.Sounds like an excellent business opportunity for Paladin PC's.

What are you guys smoking? Sheesh Tarkin am I missing something or what here? When I look at paladin chart is says level spell 1, but, a paladin does not get it until character level 4. so

1 X 4(Minimum caster level) X 750 = 3000

Where are you both figuring minimum level 2? I hope I'm not going crazy here. I think i'm not going crazy here. I can put it in Binary for you to decode :)

Where are you both figuring minimum level 2? I hope I'm not going crazy here. Prices are based on caster level rather than character level.

From the rules (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/paladin.htm):
"At 4th level and higher, her caster level is one-half her paladin level."

Also, from the rules (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm#creatingWands) on wand making. For Paladin's and rangers:
"Caster level is half class level."

Please note that I wrote a caster level of 2 for the Paladin.

That is the minimum caster level it is capable of of using to cast the spell, and therefore is the minimum caster level allowed for them to create the item.

Yeah I just couldn't find it under hypertext, but I didn't think to check paladin class spell specifics. Thanks for the link though, its good to know that.

Just remember it still takes 3 whole rounds to cast lesser restore from a wand. This is why the potions are so durned handy to have. Best 300gp my character spends.
