If a melee class gains the benefits of +1Atk/Dmg with a +1 sword, it seems like it should apply to a caster using a +1 item (staff, wand, etc.)
#2 eleran Nov 20, 2014 6:15:18	A focus item only serves as a stand-in for mundane material components.  I don't find an enchanted focus item anywhere in the materials yet released.  Can you provide more info?
#3 Batla76 Nov 20, 2014 6:59:33	Thanks Eleran! There is nothing yet in print but a +1 staff or wand is not out of the question. I just think it is fair to give the caster the same bonus (with a focus item) that the melee gets with an enchanted weapon. Right now it is just a house rule.
#4 mellored Nov 20, 2014 9:32:38	Classicly, most caster stuff gives extra spells rather then a bonus to DC's.   i.e. you get a wand of holding, rather then a wand +1.
