[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3052995, member: 16285"] Well the RAW prohibits making wands of higher than 4th level spells now. That might be why you don't have many people using higher level spell wands. If you are going to allow the wielder to use his stats for casting via a wand your pricing might not be high enough. Normally 750 x Sl x CL. And the CL is set when made. Maybe bump it into the x10 category so something like 7500 x SL, which on average would be 2 (since only 1-4th level spells can be put into a wand) so then 15000 gp. Youch that is a bite. I'm not sure combining staves and wands works real well. Staves are pretty much what you are aiming at. The CL is set by the wielder and any level spell can be placed within it. Staves also tend to have multiple properties while wands are single spell, single level. Are you trying to get PCs to take more craft feats or less? I mean you specifically mention that brew potion is almost never taken - do you want to have PCs take it more often? Having low level wands flying around like candy in a high level game really shouldn't be much of a problem since a low level cure light wounds wand is only doing very little good to a high level character anyway so it must be replaced frequently.
