A staff sheath is simply that, a long leather covering that can be fitted over a staff, usually leaving the head of the staff exposed. The primary purpose of a staff sheath is to protect the surface of the staff from the kind of nicks and dents that are seemingly inevitable on the trail. However, with the staff sheath covering the weapon, all damage the staff does is considered to be non-lethal damage. This allows the wielder of the staff to deal nonlethal damage without suffering a -4 penalty on his attack roll.

A staff sheath like the one priced below is simple and unadorned. If the purchaser wishes a more elaborate staff sheath, Madrion can accommodate the wish for an added fee. Removing a staff sheath is a move action. Even if a character has the Quick Draw feat, the staff sheath cannot be removed as a free action. A staff sheath that leaves the head of the staff exposed will not interfere with any of the staff’s magical powers.
