Wukong Staff
Submitted by daecon on Sat, 2007-03-03 02:00
When found, the wukong staff appears as an ordinary length of wood, usually plain oak or rattan. It is capped at both ends with iron and radiates a mild aura of alteration magic.
It functions as a +1 quarterstaff but its full power becomes evident when wielded by someone with acrobatic or martial arts skills. In the hands of such a wielder, the staff gains the ability to grow to nearly any length on command. It can also shrink for easy storage. In addition, the wielder can hold onto the top of the staff and rise with it. The staff remains set and stable no matter how long it grows, allowing the wielder to rise high in the air. The maximum height attainable appears to be around 50 feet, but there are persistant stories of a more powerful version that can grow over a mile in length.Market Price: 5,000 gpCost to create: 2,500 gp and 500 xp
Can it change size in combat? Could I begin a downward sweep and have the staff extend to 50' as it descended? I think that would seriously increase the reach and impact. Sigurd
