All wands and staves have a number of charges, which is rolled when a character takes possession of the item. Typically, a wand has 1-8 charges and a staff has 1-12 charges. Discharged wands accumulate 1-4 charges per week in the hands of a magic-user, or 1-2 charges per week in the hands of any other class that can use wands.<\/p>\n

One charge can be spent to cast a memorized spell with a 2-in-6 chance of retaining the spell after casting.<\/p>\n

In addition, many (but not all) wands and staves also have a secondary power, which is rolled randomly. It costs 1 charge to activate this power.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Quickness – Act at +1 initiative.<\/li>\n
  2. Power – Next saving throw against this wand is at -1.<\/li>\n
  3. Dueling – Gain +1 to a saving throw.<\/li>\n
  4. The Serpent – Requires contact (to-hit roll). Save vs. poison or die*.<\/li>\n
  5. Vitality – Gain +1d4 hit points (once per day).<\/li>\n
  6. The Heavens – Cause +1 damage against demons, undead, or summoned creatures.<\/li>\n
  7. Awareness – Surprised only a roll of 1 (lasts all day).<\/li>\n
  8. Deflection – +1 AC versus missile attack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    * Affects creatures up to 4 HD. Above that, the poison inflicts 1d4 points of damage each round, with a saving throw allowed each round to end the effect.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
