Digital Archon said:So, let's see what the problem might be:
1. Eberron.
2. The Artificer class.
3. The "Dual Wand Wield" feat, which sounds like it comes from a non-core book.
4. The player.
In my opinion, the problem is partly #3, but mostly #4. We have here the classic twink/munchkin player.
5. Mis-application of the rules.
I suspect it's number 5, but there are a lot of details missing.
What "spell" was the artificer casting? (I assume reveal meant infusion - an important distinction in some cases). Breaking down the abilities actually used would help pinpointing the problem.
"Double Wand Wielder" is also an issue. Keith has recommended not using this feat in Eberron, because it treads on an Eberron prestige class schtick (Cannith Wand Adept, mentioned above). Complete Arcane has a number of feats that shouldn't be moved to Eberron because of flavor (not normally power level, though).
Also, assuming that "suppress requirement" was cast (even if incorrectly), it costs 500 gp to cast, also - for each wand. That's no small cost, either.
Breaking down the mostly likely combinations given above, it won't be done often. The artificer will be burning through wands like crazy. Sure, they can get around the XP cost, but it will still cost them gold. Lots of gold. Lots and lots of gold.
