So it does, my mistake.

Bad TOZ!

You've been mixing up the rules in your 'Melee Edition' again, haven't you?

No, I've just never seen a wand used while in melee!

And it's proper term is 'Kirthfinder'.

Just don't do it.

Sean, while I have until now agreed 100% with your posts I am going to have to discent here.

While I agree that anything with True Strike should be handled like an armed nuclear device, a competent GM can add in properly limited items which allow true strike uses that will in no way break their games.
I say do it, but make sure it is extremely limited or requires extremly hard to get and/or expensive special ingredients to make, if you think such an item is good in your game.

Then why, in the 11-year history of D&D 3E and Pathfinder, has a reasonable multi-use not-spell-trigger-or-limited-charges true strike item never appeared in an official Wizards or Paizo product?

Because the designers realize that giving combat-oriented characters routine and easy access to a +20 attack bonus is a big, big problem, and pricing an unlimited-use version of that spell pushes well beyond the 200,000 gp maximum value for most wondrous items.

That said, do what you want in your campaign.

You are mistaken in your history, sir.

There was a 3E halfling bow of true striking, cast it as a standard action, unlimited usage. basically usable every other round. Might have been in the original Sword and Fist.

Sadly this is true... not the halfling bit... but the rest is accurate.

Sword and Fist (pg. 76):

Bow of True Arrows

Yours to buy for only 4000gp. (or 2250gp + 140 XP to create)

We use them all the time; wands of inflict wounds are great for poking enemies with silly-high AC but awful touch AC.
