  • Magic Users and Rest

    I was just thinking, an easy solution to Wizards/Sorcerers "Kill 5 enemies then run out of spells" woes might be just to make certain charged items like Wands rechargeable from magic merchants or a craft bench?

    Also, as this would severely impact on Wand makers business (people could keep the same wand forever instead of having to buy a new one) they should also have the ability to recharge Wands, at lesser cost to the merchants/benches.

    I know that would probably be a lot of work, and for a minority of players at that, I'm just putting the idea out there.

    In my own PnP campaign, I use a system similar to spell points...where players can cannibalize higher level spells to restore lower level ones e.g. burn a 5th level spell (worth 9pts) to get three 2nd level spells (3pts each) back. According to what I've read from GBX, regaining spells of a certain level is impossible though?

        Haha, yeah I saw that! Unfortunately 15,000 is a little out of reach for a level 7 wizard! By the time you can afford those staves they would be virtually useless.

        I have an item which casts 2-die magic missiles at will already. Its pretty cool. It allows me to kill enemies of 16xp a pop, 32xp with some dodging and running about.

        1-die magic missile would mean I could kill the 8xp enemies with dodging and running...maybe the price tag should be adjusted? Or the caster level should be made to 3 or 5?

        I may have to seriously check that out...if it can be cost effective that is! I always just assumed a 50-charge wand was 1000gp+, which would quickly make me even poorer than I currently am :P

          There's talk in the works about being able to re-charge items, although the context has been mostly faction related thus far. However, I'll keep this in mind.
