==Staffs==

A staff is a long shaft of wood that stores several spells. Unlike [[SRD:Wands|wands]], which can contain a wide variety of spells, each staff is of a certain kind and holds specific spells. A staff has 50 charges when created.

=====Physical Description=====

A typical staff is 4 feet to 7 feet long and 2 inches to 3 inches thick, weighing about 5 pounds. Most staffs are wood, but a rare few are bone, metal, or even glass. (These are extremely exotic.) Staffs often have a gem or some device at their tip or are shod in metal at one or both ends. Staffs are often decorated with carvings or runes. A typical staff is like a walking stick, quarterstaff, or cudgel. It has [[SRD:AC|AC]] 7, 10 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]], hardness 5, and a break [[SRD:DC|DC]] of 24.

=====Activation=====

Staffs use the spell trigger activation method, so casting a spell from a staff is usually a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] that doesn’t provoke [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]]. (If the spell being cast, however, has a longer casting time than 1 [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]], it takes that long to cast the spell from a staff.) To activate a staff, a character must hold it forth in at least one hand (or whatever passes for a hand, for nonhumanoid creatures).

=====Special Qualities=====

Roll d%. A 01–30 result indicates that something (a design, inscription, or the like) provides some clue to the staff ’s function, and 31–100 indicates no special qualities.

====Staff Descriptions====

Staffs use the wielder’s [[SRD:Ability Scores|ability score]] and relevant [[SRD:Feats|feats]] to set the [[SRD:DC|DC]] for saves against their spells. Unlike with other sorts of magic items, the wielder can use his [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] when activating the power of a staff if it’s higher than the [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] of the staff.

This means that staffs are far more potent in the hands of a powerful spellcaster. Because they use the wielder’s [[SRD:Ability Scores|ability score]] to set the save [[SRD:DC|DC]] for the spell, spells from a staff are often harder to resist than ones from other magic items, which use the minimum [[SRD:Ability Scores|ability score]] required to cast the spell. Not only are aspects of the spell dependent on [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] (range, duration, and so on) potentially higher, but spells from a staff are harder to dispel and have a better chance of overcoming a target’s [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]].

Furthermore, a staff can hold a spell of any level, unlike a wand, which is limited to spells of 4th level or lower. The minimum [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] of a staff is 8th. Standard staffs are described below.

==Epic Staffs==

Staffs have 50 charges when created, and they can’t be recharged.

Staffs use the wielder’s [[SRD:Ability Scores|ability score]] and relevant [[SRD:Feats|feats]] to set the [[SRD:DC|DC]] for saves against their spells in such cases where those values would be higher than the listed values for the staffs.
