wands staves, and scrolls

I'm not commenting on your motives, but if I were a God and my priest encouraged others to go and get hurt so that they could use my power to heal them and practice their prayers..... bleh.

I believe you misunderstood what I wrote, which seems to happen a lot in the game and these misunderstandings can lead to people getting really upset at each other for no reason. What I mean is, that when people come walking into the square all beat up and I ask if they need healing, they say they will just rest to heal, unless they are at 1 percent or 0. I have to work at it to convince people to let me heal them so I can practice my healing... and I don't spam with a lot of cure lights just to do that. I DO NOT encourage people to go and get hurt, just so I can practice my healing. I don't need to, there are plenty of people going out and getting sliced and diced without me saying anything to `em. One reason I like getting a group of people together to go adventuring is that it often DOES give me a chance to practice my healing, but it's HARD to get people to just go... not to mention the RP while just sitting around resting for one reason or another... I hope this helps explain what I meant.

No need to explain

It was my mistake, sorry for that.

Remind me not to post when it's 8 hours past breakfast and I forgot breakfast :-p

And now we can make wands and staves, and wizards can brew..... *looks around confused*

I am wondering why though? Those items don't do anything anymore, only wizards can use wands and scrolls, and you can't sell them for a profit. Just wondering why, maybe could have used something that might give them a better chance at making coin for instance or something everyone can use.

Actually this reminded me of something....I had a priest alt who once saved up a TON of coin to actually buy a very, very expensive staff. When I tried to use it....it disappeared. Is this a way of limiting the staffs? Was it because the spell was not in my spell list? Can you not use a stoneskin staffs spells if you dont have stone skin on your list? Maybe that is what Rhianon is referred to. I have hardly ever seen anyone using some of the really expensive staffs in the game. (Non quest). I assumed others had gone through or heard about the same event happening.

Staves should be useable by clerics and mages by default. The use magic device skill should allow use by rogues. It is to players where you will be able to sell the items you create. Potions are useable by all classes.

If an item disappers when used like that it would be best to use the bug channel and report it so it can be looked into.

What I am referring to is that wizards and priests can use the staves, but they most likely already have the spell in their list, so why create a staff or wand when you can just access the spell. That is the point I was trying to make, sorry if I was not clear. It is a skill given to classes that most likely have access to the spells that they would instill in the staff or wand. Brew can be useful because anyone can use the potion that was brewed.
People don't use staves/wands because they used to be worth more in resale than in the spell they contained, because most people couldn't use them. So they sold them for cash.

*noddies* Same reason wizards carry wands and staves like they always have, either they run out of spells, or they dont wish to waste their magical resources

(just to put it in D&D perspective, think of if you could only memorise a certain number a spells per mud DAY and had to sleep for 6 hours afterwards, I would be carrying a few spare wands around all the time with me, as those spells would have to be chosen wisely and used only when needed)

Plus, wands can be quite powerful in a desperate situation, sometimes they can have more charges than you would be able to memorise of a certain spell.

My first order of bussiness will be a mass number of random murders. All victims shall be left with a 10% discount card for a raise at their local AWACTU office!

Yeah, that would be cool...but how would they know that they had a ten percent discount if they were dead?

Unless you could levitate a card in the Realms or something.

I am certainly in for the spellcaster's union (whatever the name is). Vote for Stayne.
