09-10-05, 11:04 AM Would a wand be considered a disposable item? It has 50 charges and (from what I understand) cannot be recharged. But I can't reasonably expect to go through all those 50 charges in one campaign. I mean, I could, with a high-enough level Artificer and some Metamagic Feats, but I'm curious if these are considered "disposable."

A complete list of disposable items would be helpful, but I doubt that would be easy to make (there are several Wonderous Items I could think of that would fall into this category).

I was hoping that "disposable" meant "extremely limited use" such as 1 or perhaps up to like 5 uses. Otherwise, that Wand of Fireballs (5th level) would be exorbitant at 56,250g. Not to mention it would take all but the Staff of Charming, Staff of Fire, and Staff of Swarming Insects out of range of purchase.

Curious, and thanks for any advice.

09-10-05, 05:00 PM As has been mentioned in other threads onthis board, wands are reusable items, costing 5 times the normal amount. However, you can buy a 10 charge wand at the normal cost for a 50 charge wand, (which would be 5 times the cost of a 10 charge wand), and it will recharge with every adventure. Does this help? ;)

09-13-05, 04:36 PM ya basically you look in the DMG (or if you add a wand onto your expansion list) and look at the price in the book. you buy it at that price but only have 10 charges. (each adventure by the way).

thats the easy way to do it.

09-13-05, 08:52 PM So this is now officially allowed?

I know it's allowed in LGR, because the LGR Campaign Standards allow this.

The MoH Campaign Standards do not say that this is allowed. In fact, wands and staves are not specifically mentioned at all.

Many people assume that because it was allowed in LGR, that it is also allowed in MoH, but we all know what happens when you assume.

09-14-05, 10:34 AM I think it more or less became official for MoH when one of the Fastplays showed up with a 10-charge wand. Of course, one of the Fastplays is also a kobold...
