Staffs for use in touch spells?

[Heretic Apostate]

If I recall correctly, GURPS has the rule that specially-enchanted staffs can be used to deliver touch spells.

So, how much would that ability be worth? Has something like this already been statted?

It'd definitely add to the flavor of mages. Gives them a reason for lugging around those staffs, in addition to their uses as uber-wands...

Sorry, a little scatter-brained today, sorry if this sounds rambling...

simply enough, you could give the player a 10ft. reach with his touch attacks. As for the cost, well have them shell out 500 xp (or less) and xxxxxx amount of money (kinda like the familiar) or just use the Craft Wondrous Item as the base feat.

The second spell here might be sort of what you're looking for; the link contains three staff-related spells for Monte Cook's AU magisters.

See also my Arcane Nifties thread (it's in my sig) for another way to have staff channeling touch spells.

There was also the Alternate Familiar thread that proposed to use a magic staff rather than a familiar, and had a rule for that.

Finally, one may adapt the Spellsword class from Tome & Blood into a Spellstaff class. It could probably drop most of the martial requirements, and get a better spellcasting progression in exchange for the loss of the ignore spell failure ability. (The average BAB could stay, as this class would emphasis battle magic using touch attack spells, which implies a bit more aiming training than normal.)
