Wand Usage


Rules Questions


If a wizard is 1st level, can he use a wand that is charged with 4th level spells?


Yes, if it's on his spell list.

If he's rich or clever enough to get one, yes.

Also, rangers and paladins can use wands at 1st level even though they don't have a caster level yet, because they DO have a spell list.

On the wizard spell list in the core rulebook or on his spell list within his spell book?

These terms mean different, very specific things:

* wizard spell list (all spells that have "wizard" in the Level line, which a wizard could potentially learn)
* wizard spells known (a subset of the above category, consisting of the wizard spells a particular wizard has written down in his spellbook)
* wizard spells prepared (a subset of the above category, consisting of the wizard spells known that wizard has prepared that day)

A wizard can use a wand if its spell appears on the wizard spell list. :)
