Staves always have the following traits:

  • all staves can be used as a normal melee weapon (a quarterstaff), OR they can be used to make melee touch attacks.
  • If you use touch attacks, you don't get to add your STR modifier to the damage.
  • all staves have 3 spells on them, selected at purchase, max 4th spell level, just like rods.
  • all staves have 10 charges that automatically come back after a full night's rest. Cannot be boosted or recharged with manastones.
  • 0th level spells cost no charges, 1st level spells cost 1 charge, 2nd level spells cost 2 charges, 3rd level spells cost 3 charges, and 4th level spells cost 4 charges.
  • all staves also have 1 wand effect on them, which affects the caster's spells, and/or the spells castable through the staff...
  • when purchasing a staff, the buyer picks 3 rods, and 1 wand, and totals the cost of all 4 to get the price of the staff.
thought: if you put the exact same rod effect in a staff twice, it can now be activated as a move action. if you put the exact same rod effect in a staff three times, it can now be activated as a swift or as part of a move action.
