Or must the character have enough levels toactually be a spellcaster.The requirement for using a spell trigger item (such as awand) is having the spell stored in the item on your class spelllist, not having the ability to cast the spell (see page 175 in theDUNGEON MASTER’s Guide). Since cure light wounds is on boththe paladin and ranger class spell lists, paladins or rangers ofany level can use wands of cure light wounds.The referenced page in the 3E DMG states "This is the case even for a character who can't actually cast spells, such as a 3rd level paladin".3.5 says exactly the same.-Hyp.</blockquote>
