Ok I am trying to create the "Wand of Magic Missles" as described in the 1e DMG... The spell to emulate is already there (thanks!) and Im using the "Wand of lightning bolts" as the example to follow... ish... Ive dummied up a character and everything works "as expected" when I try to use it as a melee (according to the DMG, melees will have to "roll to hit" but there is no save. Casters will just point and click.. no saves, no "to hit roll")... heres the sticker, I had to basically put in a a negative modifier that not even Zeus could make the save, so the caster basically gets the "no to hit" roll but the save is still rolled... never ever made, but still rolled. The same magic item can be used for either melee or caster, just needs a tweek each time its "given" to someone. Is there some templatization or anything I can use to programatically assign the melee or caster "version" of the wand or?
Is there a better solution Im missing? Seems clunky... thanks let me know wyc!
