Thanks Borlon, Primitive Screwhead, and Nim for running the numbers.
I haven't applied it to staves yet (haven't gotten high enough level to get one under this rule), but I probably would. For items that use multiple charges, I would roll multiple times.
I've played with the rule for a little while now, and players tend to like it as much as DM's. Wands get used much more often because of the element of risk. That, and the fun of rolling dice.
