Don't kill me if I'm wrong, but somehow I'm under the impression
that in 3.6 and possibly some other versions the wand of striking
when zapped at an adjacent monster has a 20% chance of changing the
monster's dammage to 3d8 with +9 dammage bonus, otherwise it makes it
1d8 +3.  When wielded, it is 1d8 with a +3,+3.  I found these figures
on an aging piece of printout paper, and my experience seems to bear it
out, although I won't vouch for their accuracy.  You might want to give it
a try, though.  Oh well, enought rambling...
