[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 7393144, member: 32740"] Yes. And then you would have a magical headpiece widget, but NOT A MAGICAL STAFF. Craft Staff has different costs, prerequisites, etc and is made a separate feat for good reason. No. It's a normal staff with a miscellaneous magical widget attached to it. Would [I]possibly[/I] depend on the effect the globe is supposed to have, but for the most part, [I]obviously[/I] yes, you WOULD need to hold the globe itself to use its powers because the staff is not a magical item, only the globe you've attached to it is. You can't use a magic ring that's in your back pocket, not on your finger. You can't use a crystal ball if you're not at least gazing into it if not holding it. You can't do double damage to giants with a giant-slaying sword if you're not holding it in your hand and trying to hit them with it. It's a clever idea as far as it goes, but were I the DM I'd be seriously disinclined to effectively rule that Craft Staff, with all it's MUCH higher requirements and costs, may as well not even exist anymore. But that's me. [/QUOTE]
