Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hussar" data-source="post: 6298454" data-attributes="member: 22779">I can get 200 charges worth of wands of invisibility, and I can make the entire party invisible if I want to.  And if I take Craft Wand at 5th level, I can get 400 charges for the same price.   For Forge Ring, I need to be at least 12th level.  That's a HELL of a lot of wands of Invisiblity before you can guarantee having a single ring of Invisibility.   Any time I want to and, really, as often as I want to, I can cast Invisiblity.    As a standard wand, that's 30 rounds of invisibility.  Well, I suppose 26 rounds if you invisibled the entire party.  More than enough to bypass any encounter you want to sneak past.Wand of extended range fireball is fantastic if you run any sort of naval campaign.  Out ranges and far out powers any catapult.  Niche, true, but, still very, very useful for outdoor heavy campaigns.And if your campaigns feature so few traps that spending 4500 gp (assuming you don't just make the thing) isn't worth the wand of Unseen Servant, then the rogue in your party doesn't exactly have much to do either does he?  To me, it was standard that every caster spent about 10% of their wealth on consumables.  Far more often, the rest of the party would chip in to add to that total because everyone recognised how good that option really was.  Again, I think that it's fair to say that you have not really seen a player using a caster with a high degree of system mastery if you saw high defence wizards with displacement on the front line entering melee combat more commonly than casters carting around bags full of wands and scrolls.</blockquote>
