A wizard in the party has Craft Wand, and the Paladin wants to put "Bless Weapon" into the wand. Can they cooperate to make a Wand of Bless Weapon? I would assume the wizard pays the cost in XP, as he's the one with the feat. Is the cost of the wand made at the wizard base cost, or the paladin base cost?

10-14-04, 01:30 PM If the DM were to allow this, the price would be determined by the level of the spell the paladin is casting it at and the level of the spell on the paladins spell list. The wizard would still be the one to pay the XP cost because he is the one creating the wand, the paladin is only supplying the spell needed to create it.
