How About an Expansion on Spellcasting Items

[John R.]

Anybody think there should be a feat that lets the Thaumaturge cast spells from wands or staves? Possibly another feat path that branches off Scroll Thaumaturgy?

I think wrapping that up in scroll thauma would be a pretty easy mix in. I don't think it'd be worht a class feat itself. It would be nice as Trick Magic Item isn't the greatest flow.

That would be nice but it seems REALLY strong for a single feat, especially if kept at 1st level.

Staves are probably too much - or if you are going to allow them, then it needs to require some meaningful feat investment. Wands are... more manageable.

Agreed. Get wands with scrolls at lvl 1. And staves with a higher level feat.

And scrap the higher Scroll feats as they give you scrolls that IIRC you can buy with your Thaumaturge's spare change.

Why not make wands part of using the wand implement?

I think that would be odd unless the wand Implement covers all uses of magic by the Thaumaturge. And I prefer some of those to be open to all Thaumaturges to allow for more diversity in builds and tactics.
