cwslyclgh 03-11-07, 03:35 AM	if you mean use the maximize spell feat to cause a spell used from a wand to be maximized, then the answer is no. if you have both the craft wand feat and the maximize spell feat, you could create a wand of a maximized spell, but you would have to pay for the higher caster level and spell level to do so (and the spell would count as its higher meta-magiced level for purposes of item creation, which would mean that you could only make wands of maximized 0th and 1st level spells, because of a wands inability to hold spells of higher then 4th level).
RavenCorvus 03-11-07, 03:46 AM	Well is what I was actually talking about was to create a wand that had the Metamagic feat Maximize Spell on it and put the spell Magic Missile on it as well. But i was only going to use the Maximize Spell Feat as it works for the rods which is three times a day. Rods and wands are really not that different to each other its really just size. Would that work ?
cwslyclgh 03-11-07, 03:48 AM	if you wanted to crfeate a rod that did a maximized magic missile 3/day it would be a non-standard item and you would need DM approval, but it could be created legaly following the magic item creation guidelines in the DMG if the DM allowed it.
RavenCorvus 03-11-07, 03:58 AM	Well I am the DM of my game so i know i can do and make just about anything but i still dont want to make anything game breaking, would that be all that game breaking ?
cwslyclgh 03-11-07, 04:06 AM	a rod that did a maximized magic missile 3 times per day? no it would not be game breaking in the least, although you would not want to give it to parties that are to low of level, else it will make it more difficult to challenge them... the market price for such an item would be around 39000 gp (assuming caster level 9, so the full 5 missiles were available), so you would probably not want to give it to a group of characters with an average party level below 11th or so.

Edit: Also, there is a feat in the Complete Mage called Metamagic Spell Trigger that does the same thing (the item's prereq.)
RavenCorvus 03-11-07, 02:37 PM	I dont think the wand grips would help me since i plan on using the wand in a Deathwand Crossbow and i was going to use a maximized spell wand of magic missile and a wand of fireball
