Do you think the school identify should be added?For Shrink i had the Shrink Item spell in mind anyways. I could easily change that, then it should be possible to shrink the staff down to the size of a hairpin.I'm not sure about the effects of the Grow yet. If the Wizard Staff is a quarterstaff, the grown staff becomes a polearm. Could be a reach weapon then, which you can use to deliver touch spells (-4 to attack, because no profiency).Yessir, because i didn't want to overpower this item. It should still be usable and balanced in most campaigns and not making the non-wizard players complain about its power.Why that? Locate Object is even weaker then Scry. Emphatic Link does the same and has a range of one mile. But you're right, i'd like to give the staff here something different than a scry, something with more flavor.Good idea, i will add that to my development list.The item already has the hardness progression.Talking about the hitpoints: i wondered giving it 1/2 of the wizards HPs too (see Familiars).I've been reading some about damage to object in the PHB, i think the staff should be allowed to roll savingthrows (i.e. against a disintegrate).</blockquote>
