Item talk:Wand of Charm Person

Usefulness
Do we really want a new topic / page for each wand? Wouldn't it be simpler to just make a list of spells for which a wand exists? -- Tihocan 13:51, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * Yes the only reason I see this becoming important further down the line is if wands are included at a higher caster level, potentially a greater wand or something like that.  As it stands now I have never seen any wand with a higher caster level yet, but I am thinking like a PnP DnD player and expecting them later.  Also it gives a means of displaying the info on the wand, such as UMD DC.  Others  should I just delete these wands? -- koolkat 14:57, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * Until we have a good reason to add a specific page for each wand, I would not bother to. One of the main reasons is that the spell descriptions are still not accurate, and duplicating them just adds to the updating burden. If there exists a wand at a higher caster level, this can be mentioned in a summary page, there isn't even a need to create a specific page for it. Personally, I think a simple list with the "wanded" spells is more than enough, and we can still add more details later if needed. Tihocan 15:49, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * By the way there could be a :Category:Wanded spells, so that this list could be automatically generated. Now just need to find a proper term for "wanded" ;) Tihocan 15:50, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * Well, Koolkat was slick and actually 'included' the spell info from the spell pages - it's not duplicated. Update the spell, and the wand reflects that. So kudos for that. However, I agree with Tihocan that I don't think that separate pages are necessary. I would bet that if a wand came out that had a higher caster level or some other tweak, that it'll have a prefix or suffix to the name ('greater', 'major', something). I applaud you for planning for the future, but I think it's going to be a ton of extra work for a slim chance of payoff at this point. Tihocan - how about :Category:Wandable spells? ;b Dedridd 15:56, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * Oh, my bad about the duplication -- Tihocan 16:19, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * :Category:Wand spells.

-> According to the post here there is multiple caster level wands. http://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6041 What would be the best way to deal with that? Maybe have a list of wanded spells found ingame and also include the caster level after it? And possibly include a UMD DC for each casterlevel? Maybe include it on both the wand page as well as the UMD skill page? -- koolkat 12:37, March 5, 2006 (EST)


 * Yes I would just list the available caster levels for each wand. The DC is given on the Use Magic Device page, but could be given again on the wands page. Tihocan 16:21, March 6, 2006 (EST)
