When Ezren used it on another characters attack check, it switched to 2D4 instead of 1d4+4 - I guess this implies it uses the (if any) arcane skill of the character actually fighting the monster instead of checking the wielder of the wand for it, which sounds a bit iffy?

Can confirm, it's rolling 2d4 on all characters at the moment. Looks like the check for the Arcane skill is borked.

That's right, when Seoni used Wand of Enervation I also rolled 2d4 instead of 1d4+4.

Same here, tested with Seony on another char's check.

Can anybody test it with both characters having Arcane (maybe Ezren and Lem)? That would tell us whether it was using the assisted character's Arcane, or just screwing up completely.

I've had Ezren and Seoni use it on their own and the others combat rolls multiple times since the patch and it's always 2d4.

Thanks for reporting this and doing some sleuthing.
I'll file this straight away!

When I checked with Ezren it look like the wand is set to a Divine check not a arcane check. You can't switch it manually.

If I could play my bard I'd check on him since he has the wand. But he's frozen in a mission . Maybe someone else can check with Lem using it. Going off the above post about divine instead of arcane.
