Staff of Altered Life (5e Equipment)
|
Staff, very rare (requires attunement) This is a pitch black staff with a ruby atop, faintly glowing like the flame of a candle (bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet). It can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. You can use this staff as a spellcasting focus. When you cast a spell through the staff, add a +2 to the Spell Attack roll or to the Save DC of the spell. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff crumbles into cinders, and is destroyed. Lifeburn. As an Action while holding this staff you can spend 1 charge and lose up to 50 hit points to force a creature you can see within 60 feet to make a Constitution saving throw. You apply a bonus to this property as if this was a spell cast through it. The target takes 2d10 necrotic damage, plus 2 necrotic for each hit point spent on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You add your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage if you spend the maximum amount of hit points. Lifesteal. While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend 1 charge, making a ranged spell attack against a creature within 60 feet. On a hit, the target takes 2d10 necrotic damage, and you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt.  Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Staves |
