Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gez" data-source="post: 802189" data-attributes="member: 1328">I would rather make the feat this way:Bolster* Magic Item(* Not sure if this is really the most appropriate verb)When you use a spell-trigger item, the DC of the saving throw is based on your own spellcasting ability modifier; and the caster level is based on your own level. For example, a 16th level wizard with an Intelligence of 20 and a wand of fireball, when using said wand, the DC would be 18 (as if the wizard was casting fireball himself) rather than the default 14; and the fireball would deal 10d6 rather than the default 5. Furthermore, general feats that affect spell DC such as Spell Focus, or the caster level for purpose of overcoming spell resistance such as Spell Penetration, apply. You can't apply, however, any metamagic feat.This way, the BBEG has an effective weapon, and the players just loot a crappy thing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
