[QUOTE="Wolv0rine, post: 3296816, member: 9045"] Hmm, okay, I'm not quite sure I'm getting which of the two possible interpretations of that seem possible from what you're saying. Do you mean that... 1. It's a problem in that it doesn't support the school of thought that says a character should pour gp and xp down the drain periodically to create magic items, but this doesn't have any built-in reasons for the character to pour that gp and xp down the drain because his wand doesn't become obsolete, or... 2. It's a problem because 15 years later our aspiring archmage knows a lot more about magic than he did when he was a snot-nosed student wizard, and should thus make a more potent wand because of that? #1 I'd just have to harumph at and agree to ideological differences, while #2 I'd be perfectly open to considering. :) I made the effect of the wands static to keep it relatively simple, actually. It could be worse, this could be a discussion on staves. The text on staves I've got is a bit dense. [/QUOTE]
