Description: This simple staff radiates a powerful enchantment, though its plain design suggests a
simple origin. It reflects the quiet strength that faith brings, and was likely the modest
weapon of a priest or cleric.

make a saving throw vs. spells or flee in terror, fearing the wielder as if he or she were
a flesh eating demon from the Abyss. There is a drawback to using this rod however. Each

permanently.

Description: This weapon appears to be a normal large walking staff, but it has a faint aura of
alteration magic. Uttering the command word causes the staff to assume the attributes of a
mace, allowing it to be wielded with one hand. This was likely designed for priests or

Item Code: STAF07
Description: This staff seems to draw from eleven artistic traditions, though tied less to the
forest than is usually customary. It was apparently designed to control air elementals,
being able to summon one as a servant to the wielder, and potentially destroying creatures
of the same type in a single blow. When necessary, it can also spawn a cloud of gas
causing anyone within the area of effect to fall into a deep slumber. Some effects are
limited by charges.

Linked to the Plane of Earth, this staff may have been fashioned by an ancient druidic

Description: A mage's staff is far more than just a gilded walking stick, most being enchanted to an
impressive degree. This one is no exception, and whoever the previous owner was, they were
powerful indeed. It enables a mage to better escape hostile magic and avoid physical
blows, and can erect a Globe of Invulnerability (one charge). Offensively it can be used
in melee very well, and cast a Lightning Bolt (one charge).

Description: There was a time when magic was distrusted even more so than now, and the burning of
"heretics" was woefully common. Delmarey, a witch from the swamplands near Myth
Rynn, faced just such a fate when she was blamed for an unseasonable drought. Taken by
surprise and sentenced by a mob, she was put to the torch in the Village Square. With her
dying breath she uttered a foul curse, fueling the fire to an unstoppable magnitude. By
dawn, the entire village was reduced to black coal, save the burnt remnant of the pole
Delmary had been bound to. This staff has been imbued with some remnants of Delmarey's
power, making it a highly enchanted weapon.

Description: Staffs of Striking are made by the Gold Elves of Drelagara on Evermeet. The staffs have
a life of their own and jump to attack in their bearer's hands. The elven craftsmen rarely
sell them to other races but these powerful melee weapons do surface occasionally in
Faerun. However, each attack made with the staff uses a charge, hence causing it to
consume itself when no charges remain.

Staff of Thunder and Lightning
Description: There are stories that tell of these staves sprouting in the growth around druid groves
when the forest is threatened. Fanciful tales, but truth or not, this staff is a powerful
tool. It draws energy from storms, and there is a chance that any blow may trigger a
thunderclap that knocks enemies down. It casts Lightning Bolt, and if circumstances
warrant it, it can summon a lighting storm to blast enemies to dust. Some abilities are
limited by charges.

Description: This staff was the culmination of a cycle of seasons in which Cernd meditated on his
role within nature. His perch for this personal journey was next to a sapling, a young oak
that was a particular interest of study; it seemed odd, and yet somehow wonderfully
ordered. At the coming of spring Cernd examined it one last time, and it came loose in his
hands, a living staff, granted as boon from nature herself. It has grown to fit his grip,
and few others may wield it.

This type of staff is thoroughly linked of the image of the spellcasting profession, rare
though it is. It is among the most powerful tools that a wizard can possess, the
culmination of complex enchantment and endless study. This particular example is good in
melee, grants Invisibility, and offers protection from Charms and Evil. It can also cast a
Spell Trap, launch a Fireball-Lighting Bolt combination, and Dispel Magic. The
quintessential mage item.

Description: Known only as the "Wild Man of the Wood", the man that carried this staff was
a legendary figure near Trademeet until the day he died and returned to the soil. Those
who saw him remember his dark, bark-like skin, a feature that would fade if the staff were
set aside. He would harass irresponsible loggers and poachers, and old-timers tell of
mercenaries chasing him with a dozen hunting dogs or more. The animals seemed ready to rip
the poor druid to pieces, but he quickly turned them on their former masters. Rushing
forward in hopes of ending his influence, the men-at-arms saw the final power of the
staff, and as the vegetation trembled with the "Wild Man's" magical calling,
there formed a green, rotting mix of life and death that shambled overtop of the terrified
soldiers, killing them all.
