Wand Usage

[spestocks]

Quick, hopefully easy question...

If a wand's spell is on a class list (i.e. CLW on a Ranger's list), can the character use the wand successfully no matter what level he is or what his INT/WIS/CHA score is?

Example: Ranger 4, 9 WIS...can he use a CLW, CMW, etc wand?

Thanks!

P.S. Also...haven't been on this site much...but can you not search the forums???

Yes. So long as you have the spell on your class list, you may use the wand. (Ability score is irrelevant.)

Or you could try the SRD itself:

Spell Trigger: Spell trigger activation is similar to spell completion, but it’s even simpler. No gestures or spell finishing is needed, just a special knowledge of spellcasting that an appropriate character would know, and a single word that must be spoken. Anyone with a spell on his or her spell list knows how to use a spell trigger item that stores that spell. (This is the case even for a character who can’t actually cast spells, such as a 3rd-level paladin.) The user must still determine what spell is stored in the item before she can activate it. Activating a spell trigger item is a standard action and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
