Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nifft" data-source="post: 3324360" data-attributes="member: 6562">I agree with the Bards thing. But no Wizards, Clerics or Druids. Why not? Because those guys already get great value out of Craft Wand, Scribe Scroll, and Craft Staff.It's Sorcerers and Bards who really get the short end of the charged stick. "I can craft a Wand of any spell I know! Which I can always cast... at full caster level... why did I take this feat?"Basically, those current Crafting feats allow a Wizard, Cleric or Druid to mitigate their spellcasting style's drawback. This feat is intended to allow a Sorcerer to expend resources to mitigate their spellcasting style's drawback.Also, from a world-building perspective, I like how it assigns roles to different classes. Need a new item? Get a Wizard. Need an item recharged? Find a Sorcerer. So the Sorcerer is always doing "lower class" work. This creates tension and gives rise to plot hooks. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />Finally, the feat is rather strong, so I think it's fair to require an under-powered class as a pre-req (and Sorcerer & Bard are widely regarded as underpowered).Actually, that was a pre-finally.Finally, any DM who allows PCs to buy "one charge" wands is already giving the store away. "It's just like a Scroll, but half price! Also, it's easier to use!" No. Just no. You may find wands with fewer than 50 charges, but no-one ever sells them.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
