Type of feat: item creation (general feat)
Prerequisite: spellcaster level 5+
Specifics: The spellcaster can create a wand of any spell of fourth level or lower that he knows. Crafting a wand costs a small amount of XP and gold, depending on the innate level of the spell to be crafted into the wand. A newly created wand has 1d20 + 1 charge per level of the character (up to a maximum of 50 charges). The cost for crafting a wand depends on the innate level of the spell as well as the caster level of the resulting wand.
Some examples:
- A wand of magic missile (5) will cost 3750 gold and 150 XP.
- A wand of Melf's acid arrow (5) will cost 7500 gold and 300 XP.
- A wand of fireball (5) will cost 11250 gold and 450 XP.
Use: selected (In order to craft a wand, the character has to cast the spell in question on a specially crafted (bone) wand.)
Notes
- Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
- Spells granted by feats or special abilities cannot be used to craft a wand.
- Spells with a range of "personal" cannot be used to craft a wand.
- Bone wands can be crafted with the craft weapon skill (DC: 13).
- The number of charges depends on caster level, rather than the character level mentioned in this feat's description.
- When casting a spell on a bone wand, all metamagic aspects are ignored.
- It is the innate level of a spell, not the spell level for a particular class, that determines if the spell can be used with this feat. These often coincide, but not always.
- The costs of crafting are calculated as follows, with the caveat that cantrips (level 0 spells) are treated as level 1 spells for this calculation.
- GP: caster level (of the wand) × innate level × 750
- XP: caster level (of the wand) × innate level × 30
Custom content notes
- A custom class must have this feat in their feat list, or that class will not be able to select it as a general feat.
- The maximum spell level that can be crafted into a wand is controlled by the constant X2_CI_CRAFTWAND_MAXLEVEL defined in the script
x2_inc_craft. To make a change to this constant effective, the scriptx2_pc_craftneeds to be recompiled.- Even if the level limit is raised, the spells dirge and elemental swarm cannot be used to craft a wand without a .2da change.
