Can you activate domain spell wands? (without UMD, I mean)


Rules Questions


Suppose a spell is a spell you have as a domain spell, but it's not on your normal class spell list ('enlarge person' via the Strength domain, for example). Can you use a wand with that spell in it, without making use of Use Magic Device checks?


From my understanding of a recent FAQ, if a class feature gives you access to a spell it counts as being on your spellist.


...

That would imply that clerics could prepare domain spells in their regular slots, though, right?

No. It only means the spell is on your class list since the domain rules specifically don't allow you to use them for your normal slots.

It might imply it, but any such implication would be overruled by the fact that the domain rules specifically say that domain spells not normally on the cleric list can only be prepared in domain slots.


Don't wands and such have types, too? I.e. Divine or arcane, such that a spell that appears on both the wizard and cleric list might appear in a wand that a wizard couldnt use without umd that a cleroc could? So in the example above, the domain version of the spell would be divine, so the cleric couldnt use an arcane wand without umd? I could be makong that all up though.

Actually, you are.

Scrolls come in both arcane and divine 'flavor', wands don't.

Ah, true. Specific trumps general; my world is on its axis again.

Question answered. Thanks all!
