At least they can take it as a cross-class skill in 3.5e. And Magical Aptitude and Skill Focus (UMD) feats will bump it up by +5. If one of 1st-level Human Samurai puts 18 on his Cha and take 2 ranks of UMD plus above 2 feats, now his UMD is +11. He can activate a wand on 9+. At level 10, UMD is +15 and thus he can activate a wand at 5+.Not a good chance of success. But better than nothing. Wands of various spells may complement their lack of magics.</blockquote>
