[QUOTE="Shade, post: 1402904, member: 287"] Following the KISS approach: For magic items which have effects that must be aimed in a particular direction (such as cones or lines), roll 1d8 and consult the "Missing With a Thrown Weapon" diagram on page 158 of the [i]Player's Handbook[/i]. Use the wielder of the item as the targeted square; the effect begins from the indicated direction. For example, if the feystag attempts to activate an elven wizard's [i]wand of cone of cold[/i], roll 1d8 and consult the table. If a "5" is rolled, the cone begins in the top center square. Effects that are centered on the bearer or that target the bearer (such as [i]winged[/i] [i]boots[/i]) always effect the caster, not the feystag. Question: What about items with a range of touch? Should we say that they automatically effect the bearer, or that they simply cannot be used? [/QUOTE]
