[QUOTE="pdegan2814, post: 7308734, member: 6801202"] The Rod grants a bonus to your spell attack modifier. The description of the Staff of Power says "This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, you gain a +2 bonus to Armor Clas, saving throws, and spell attack rolls." So it give an additional +2 to your spell attack rolls, on top of the bonus from the Rod. As per Crawford in 2016([url]https://www.sageadvice.eu/2016/06/23/does-the-bonuses-of-rod-of-the-pact-lord-and-wand-of-the-war-mage-stack/[/url]), the bonuses from different magic items can stack. But if you're using the staff as a club, the spell attack bonuses from the Rod & Staff do not apply. What DOES apply is the property of the Staff that says it gains a +2 to attack and damage rolls. Essentially, it's a quarterstaff +2 with additional properties. [/QUOTE]
