[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7571278, member: 6669384"] Yes, but it can't be used on anyone other than the wand wielder. The fact that it's in a wand or on a scroll doesn't change the fact that it's "Personal". Yes. Spell trigger items are command activated. Remembering the 'Swish and Flick" thing, eh? :) Cool. The answer is no, though most do require that you point the wand at the desired target. So in that sense, using a wand while Grappled would be a problem, even if it's in hand at the time. No. There being no somatic component, in the formal sense, means that it can't be interfered with by armor. Questionable. "Range" is sort of a misleading term here, since "Personal" spells have no range. Or, to be more specific, the range is "Touch". If the wand isn't touching the target, it doesn't work. Now, does the grasping of the wand count as "Touch"? That's up to your DM. To me, the answer would be no, particularly if you view a wand as having "handle". If there's a specific grip end then there's a specific business end, and I'd say that it's the business end that has to touch the target. And no, being in the holster/sleeve doesn't count, at least not in my games. YMMV, of course. [/QUOTE]
