Divining Staff (5e Equipment)
From D&D Wiki
Staff, rarity varies (requires attunement by a spellcaster) You can spend a bonus action to speak the command word of the staff causing it to glow with a green light. Each magic item within 1,000 feet of the staff and of the same rarity or less rare than the staff glows green as well. The staff’s rarity determines its property’s effectiveness at aiding you in the detection of items.
The staff’s properties affect magical items that are being worn or carried and also affect the staff itself. Moreover, the light is not just visible to you making it easier for other creatures to detect you. Any creature that can see the light created by this item can use its effects such as the lighted routes or the staff’s glow that is visible through obstacles as a means to track you. In addition, creatures have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) checks that are made to find you based on the staff’s effects. The staff can’t detect magical items that are encased within any layer of lead. Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Staves |
