From Introduction: Welcome to the second book in the Loot 4 Less line, in which we deal exclusively in items with a cost-to-consumer of 2,500 gp or less. And just to up the level of difficulty, we also don’t deal in one-shot (or even two- or three-shot) magic items. Here in Volume II: Rods, Staffs & Wands, we’re specifically looking only at magic items that are longer than they are wide. Think of it as the Freudian Spellcaster Special. And even in the categories that are traditionally charged (like staffs and wands, which make up roughly 2/3 of this book), we instead work out permanent items that fill similar roles. Everything in these pages is free of charges and able to be used in adventure after adventure.
