Lightning Staff (5e Equipment)

This equipment is best utilized with the Spell Points variant rule (DMG pg. 288), or equivalent.

Staff, uncommon

A more powerful version of a lightning rod, this staff features 7 yellow gemstones arranged in an intricate pattern. A spellcaster holding this staff can use it as a Spellcasting Focus. While holding this staff, you can use it to perform one of the following attacks:

• Melee Weapon Attack. You swing the staff, making an attack roll (using your Strength modifier) against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage plus 1 lightning damage. If you wield this staff in two hands, its bludgeoning damage die increases to 1d6.

• Ranged Spell Attack (costs 1 mp). You loosen from the staff a mote of flame and make an attack roll against a creature or object within 75 feet. You have advantage on this attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal, or is soaked in water. On a hit, the target takes 3d8 lightning damage. You can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the attack roll of this attack. If you do not have a spellcasting feature, you add your Intelligence modifier instead.

• Melee Spell Attack (costs 1 mp). With a roar of thunder, a long spearhead of lighting erupts from the tip of the staff. While the spearhead persists, the staff now deals 1d6 lightning and 1d6 slashing damage on a hit, and you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using this weapon. If you do not have a spellcasting feature, you use your Intelligence instead. After 1 minute, the axe head disappears.
