[QUOTE="dcollins, post: 1163559, member: 876"] I agree with the line of reasoning that prevents free-action Quickened wands. I'll also address the other question to customer service: For starters, note that this is the exact same language as in the 3.0 rules -- nothing has changed. And once again, this is another reflection of the fact that only the spell storage-magic-items have rules supporting them being [i]designed[/i] by PCs (i.e., spell powers tailored by PCs). Only the potion/scroll/wand category has: (a) the general choice of which spells to put in them, (b) formalized pricing rules in the pages of the PHB, (c) rules explicitly supporting that the creator can select whatever Caster Level they desire, and (d) language that allows the crafter to add any arbitrary Metamagic Feat to them. The rules are written such that all other items, such as Wondrous Items, et. al., are fixed with the descriptions/powers/prices/caster levels/prerequisites that are detailed in the DMG or other official rulebooks. Metamagic wondrous items are possible only on a case-by-case basis (new ones house-ruled by the DM), and if so the need for any metamagic feat will be listed in their prerequisites description. At least as far as the current written rules are set up. The usual link for newcomers: [url]www.superdan.net/dndfaq3.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
