Staff-like wand for scrolls?


Advice


Is there a way for a wizard to get his int to scroll DCs?

Thanks, I saw all the fighting with scrolls stuff and just didn't look any further, lol. I was really hoping for a feat, that archetype really doesn't fit the character.


Won't help w/ int to DCs, but on a related note...
PF Savant

"Scroll Master (Su)
A 3rd-level Arcane savant uses his own caster level instead of the item’s caster level when using a scroll or other spell completion item."

If you can use D&D 3E material, there is this feat.

Spoiler:
Residual Magic [Tactical]

You can use the lingering energy from a spell you cast to boost the effect of a later spell.

Prerequisite
Spellcraft 12 ranks, any metamagic feat

Benefit
The Residual Magic feat allows the use of two tactical maneuvers:

Enduring Potency: If you cast a spell from your daily allotment of spells, then cast the same spell from a scroll or wand in the next round, you can treat the second casting as if it had come from your daily allotment of spells for the purpose of caster level, save DC, and any other effect of the spell. For example, if Hennet the 10th-level sorcerer casts magic missile, then activates a wand of magic missile (caster level 5th) in the next round, he can treat the wand's magic missile as if he had cast it (giving him a greater range, number of missiles, and so forth).

Lingering Metamagic: If you cast a spell affected by one or more metamagic feats, and then cast the same spell in the next round, you can apply any one of the metamagic effects from the first casting to the second casting, but without any change to the spell's level. The second spell doesn't count as being affected by a metamagic feat for the purpose of this benefit (that is, it doesn't entitle you to apply the metamagic feat to a spell you might cast in the following round). Only spells you cast using your own metamagic feats (as opposed to metamagic effects from magic items) allow this option to function. For example, if Hennet uses a 5th-level slot to cast an empowered lightning bolt, in the next round he can use a 3rd level slot to cast another empowered lightning bolt. If the first spell was a silent empowered lightning bolt, he could apply the effect of either Silent Spell or Empower Spell to the second casting of lightning bolt, but not both.

Note that in 3E, you had a skill rank cap of level +3 and there was no class skill bonus, so to convert to PF, this would require only 9 ranks in spellcraft, not 12.
