Hi, just wanted to check if I was missing something. Is it possible to have a wand present on the actions tab? I can see it on equipment and click the charges, but it would be nice if it was on the actions too for attacks.
I searched the forum and did find mention from 4 years ago that, back then at least, this wasn't possible.
Thanks for any help.
Wand isn't an action, it's an item, so it's not clear what you mean. If you mean to cast a spell, then you just cast the spell. Or do you mean a specific magic item that has charges or something?
If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
Would you be using it as your arcane focus or something? I think he is right in that there is no reason to use a wand at all according to the rules, but if you want it because you like it for your character than that's your choice. https://routerlogin.uno/
I just mean casting a spell from a wand, using the charges on it.
I think the issue lies in that I had to make a homebrew wand, I think I've messed up in the creation of it, so am trying again.
But the principle of having say a wand of magic missiles, should the wand appear as an action/attack or not?
Yes my bad, sorry. I've got it showing in actions now. I'd copied a wand, but left the old spell in.
The work around that i can think of is to add the spell to your spellbook, and alter the label of it like " Magic Missile (Wand)" and keep track of charges like you would track arrows.
Though Beyond has changed since i last used it, so that might not work anymore. I don't know.

Pardon me Wagnarokkr. But i believe, you just said "I don't believe it's currently possible to make homebrew items that add actions to the Actions tab."
And i responded with a work around for the OP to a restriction that you said exists.
Why are you now saying my work around is not necessary? Is it or is it not possible yo make homebrew items that have actions added to the action tab?

It's all good, it is there in spells now, with charges etc.
I'm just very new to the online sheets so making basic mistakes and not sure always what to expect.
For educational purposes, there is also Custom Action under "Manage Custom" if your players (or you) are truly forgetful about it. However, this will not link to charges or any of the actual features of the Wand.
