Unlike wands, which can contain a wide variety of spells, each staff is of a certain kind and holds specific spells. A staff has 50 charges when created.</span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><strong>Physical Description:</strong></span><span style="font-size: 10px"> A typical staff is 4 feet to 7 feet long and 2 inches to 3 inches thick, weighing about 5 pounds. Most staffs are wood, but a rare few are bone, metal, or even glass. (These are extremely exotic.) Staffs often have a gem or some device at their tip or are shod in metal at one or both ends. Staffs are often decorated with carvings or runes. A typical staff is like a walking stick, quarterstaff, or cudgel. It has AC 7, 10 hit points, hardness 5, and a break DC of 24.</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><strong>Activation:</strong></span><span style="font-size: 10px"> Staffs use the spell trigger activation method, so casting a spell from a staff is usually a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. (If the spell being cast, however, has a longer casting time than 1 standard action, it takes that long to cast the spell from a staff.) To activate a staff, a character must hold it forth in at least one hand (or whatever passes for a hand, for nonhumanoid creatures).</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><strong>Special Qualities:</strong></span><span style="font-size: 10px"> Roll d%. A 01–30 result indicates that something (a design, inscription, or the like) provides some clue to the staff ’s function, and 31–100 indicates no special qualities.</span></span></span></p><table

the wielder’s ability score and relevant feats to set the DC for saves against their spells. Unlike with other sorts of magic items, the wielder can use his caster level when activating the power of a staff if it’s higher than the caster level of the staff. </span></span> </p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10px">This means that staffs are far more potent in the hands of a powerful spellcaster. Because they use the wielder’s ability score to set the save DC for the spell, spells from a staff are often harder to resist than ones from other magic items, which use the minimum ability score required to cast the spell. Not only are aspects of the spell dependant on caster level (range, duration, and so on) potentially higher, but spells from a staff are harder to dispel and have a better chance of overcoming a target’s spell resistance.</span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10px">Furthermore, a staff can hold a spell of any level, unlike a wand, which is limited to spells of 4th level or lower. The minimum caster level of a staff is 8th. Standard staffs are described below.</span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><strong>Abjuration:</strong></span><span style="font-size: 10px"> Usually carved from the heartwood of an ancient oak or other large tree, this staff allows use of the following spells:</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Shield </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(1 charge)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Resist energy </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(1 charge)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Dispel magic </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(1 charge)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Lesser globe of invulnerability </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(2 charges)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Dismissal </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(2 charges)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Repulsion </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(3 charges)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px">Strong abjuration; CL 13th; Craft Staff, </span><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>dismissal, dispel magic, lesser globe of invulnerability, resist energy, repulsion, shield; </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">Price 65,000 gp.</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><strong>Charming:</strong></span><span style="font-size: 10px"> Made of twisting wood ornately shaped and carved, this staff allows use of the following spells:</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Charm person </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(1 charge)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000">• <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>Charm monster </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">(2 charges)</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px">Moderate enchantment; CL 8th; Craft Staff, </span><span style="font-size: 10px"><em>charm person, charm monster; </em></span><span style="font-size: 10px">Price 16,500 gp.</span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><strong>Conjuration:</strong></span><span style="font-size: 10px"> This staff is usually made of ash or walnut and bears ornate carvings of many different kinds of creatures.

[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6159494, member: 1"] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3]STAFFS[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=2]A staff is a long shaft of wood that stores several spells. Unlike wands, which can contain a wide variety of spells, each staff is of a certain kind and holds specific spells. A staff has 50 charges when created.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2][B]Physical Description:[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2] A typical staff is 4 feet to 7 feet long and 2 inches to 3 inches thick, weighing about 5 pounds. Most staffs are wood, but a rare few are bone, metal, or even glass. (These are extremely exotic.) Staffs often have a gem or some device at their tip or are shod in metal at one or both ends. Staffs are often decorated with carvings or runes. A typical staff is like a walking stick, quarterstaff, or cudgel. It has AC 7, 10 hit points, hardness 5, and a break DC of 24.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2][B]Activation:[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2] Staffs use the spell trigger activation method, so casting a spell from a staff is usually a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. (If the spell being cast, however, has a longer casting time than 1 standard action, it takes that long to cast the spell from a staff.) To activate a staff, a character must hold it forth in at least one hand (or whatever passes for a hand, for nonhumanoid creatures).[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2][B]Special Qualities:[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2] Roll d%. A 01–30 result indicates that something (a design, inscription, or the like) provides some clue to the staff ’s function, and 31–100 indicates no special qualities.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [TABLE] [TR]

against their spells. Unlike with other sorts of magic items, the wielder can use his caster level when activating the power of a staff if it’s higher than the caster level of the staff. [/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=2]This means that staffs are far more potent in the hands of a powerful spellcaster. Because they use the wielder’s ability score to set the save DC for the spell, spells from a staff are often harder to resist than ones from other magic items, which use the minimum ability score required to cast the spell. Not only are aspects of the spell dependant on caster level (range, duration, and so on) potentially higher, but spells from a staff are harder to dispel and have a better chance of overcoming a target’s spell resistance.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=2]Furthermore, a staff can hold a spell of any level, unlike a wand, which is limited to spells of 4th level or lower. The minimum caster level of a staff is 8th. Standard staffs are described below.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2][B]Abjuration:[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2] Usually carved from the heartwood of an ancient oak or other large tree, this staff allows use of the following spells:[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Shield [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](1 charge)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Resist energy [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](1 charge)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Dispel magic [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](1 charge)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Lesser globe of invulnerability [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](2 charges)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Dismissal [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](2 charges)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Repulsion [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](3 charges)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2]Strong abjuration; CL 13th; Craft Staff, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][I]dismissal, dispel magic, lesser globe of invulnerability, resist energy, repulsion, shield; [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2]Price 65,000 gp.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2][B]Charming:[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2] Made of twisting wood ornately shaped and carved, this staff allows use of the following spells:[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Charm person [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](1 charge)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]• [SIZE=3][SIZE=2][I]Charm monster [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2](2 charges)[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2]Moderate enchantment; CL 8th; Craft Staff, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][I]charm person, charm monster; [/I][/SIZE][SIZE=2]Price 16,500 gp.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][SIZE=2][B]Conjuration:[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2] This staff is usually made of ash or walnut and bears ornate carvings of many different kinds of creatures.

The staff is also a [I]+2 quarterstaff, [/I]and its wielder may use it to smite opponents. If 1 charge is expended (as a free action), the staff causes double damage (x3 on a critical hit) for 1 round.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=2]A [I]staff of power [/I]can be used for a retributive strike, requiring it to be broken by its wielder. (If this breaking of the staff is purposeful and declared by the wielder, it can be performed as a standard action that does not require the wielder to make a Strength check.) All charges currently in the staff are instantly released in a 30-foot radius. All within 2 squares of the broken staff take points of damage equal to 8 x the number of charges in the staff, those 3 or 4 squares away take 6 x the number of charges in damage, and those 5 or 6 squares distant take 4 x the number of charges in damage. All those affected can make DC 17 Reflex saves to reduce the damage by half.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=2]The character breaking the staff has a 50% chance of traveling to another plane of existence, but if he does not, the explosive release of spell energy destroys him.
