Hey, I am wondering if the DMs would consider the ability for players to make wands with limited charges, and charges up to 50.

The command .setcharge to control the number of uses a wand can have with scaling costs so we could make wands of haste with 5 uses, but it'd cost 1000gp versus a wand of 25 for 3000.

Just a thought.

I think that this would be a nice feature - perhaps only doable in multiples of 10?

The following things need to be taken into consideration...

Wand use isn't restricted by spell school, so this would be a potentially big boost in functionality to some specialists in being able to get affordable consumable access to lvl 3-4 spells of their restricted schools.

This would also give bards and rogues (and multiclasses involving those) more affordable access to more powerful spells. 4000groat instead of 8000groat for a wand of stoneskin or improved invisibility? Do we want more people running around with that? Do we want to encourage more multiclassing with UMD or 2 levels of wiz/sorc?
