Staff of the Warlock

Liber Mysterium
The Netbook of Witches and Warlocks

By Timothy S. Brannan and The Netbook of Witches and Warlocks Team

Similar to the legendary staff of power, but only effective in the hands of warlocks. Some of its powers drain charges, while others do not. The following powers can be used draining one charge per use.

• Produce flame
• Detect Magic
• Light/Darkness

• These powers will drain two charges per use.

• Cone of cold (15d6, DC 15)
• Fireball or lightning bolt (one or the other, 10th level, 10d6, DC 17)
• Hold monster (DC 14)
• Invisibility

The staff adds +2 to the warlock’s saving throws against spell based attacks. The staff can not absorb wizard spell energy and must be recharged by the warlock himself. The staff is also capable of acting as a quarterstaff +2. Unlike a staff of power, the Staff of the Warlock has no retributive strike. Breaking a Staff of the Warlock destroys
the staff beyond repair.
