[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 3779003, member: 50987"] True, but also "fun." :) I've always imagined wands being used for ranged touch attacks. I really like the idea of a wizard using a [i]wand +3[/i] that grants a bonus to ranged attack rolls, for example. But then I started reading Harry Potter, and now I imagine a wizard using a wand for everything. ("Get out of my head Rowling!") Tomes, I think, would be great for summoning spells. In Hollywood anyway, whenever a wizard/witch/oddly-dressed man/sorcerer is summoning a nasty creature, it is usually done with a book. And candles, for some reason. Orbs? I think these would be good for divination, sure, but maybe good for sensory spells. Perhaps the orb would glow, or vibrate, or get cold whenever a certain monster or magical effect come within range (detect undead and detect magic, respectively.) I like to think of staffs being used for wizard vs. wizard combat...blocking incoming spells, throwing bolts of force at their opponents, etc. To that end, I think that anything involving melee combat or abjuration effects would look good with a staff. But as you said, it is all arbitrary. [/QUOTE]
