Staff Of Ways

Aura moderate transmutation; CL 10th; Scaling prize
Slot none; Price 8,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This wooden staff is carved with intricate patterns of waves, wind, trails, and vines. As the wielder goes up in level, the patterns begin to move, slowly at first, but gradually increasing in speed and magnitude. At the highest levels, the staff appears to be filled with a twisting and complex nature scene, with forking paths and raging tsunamis. This staff allows the use of the following spells.

  • Longstrider (1 charge)
  • Expeditious retreat (2 charges)
  • Monkey fishACG (2 charges)
12th Level: The staff allows the use of spider climb for 2 charges. The cost of expeditious retreat and monkey fish each reduce to 1 charge.
14th Level: The staff allows the use of fly for 2 charges. The cost of spider climb decreases to 1 charge.
16th Level: The staff grants its owner a permanent +10-foot enhancement bonus to her base movement speed, a swim speed of 10 feet, and a climb speed of 10 feet. The staff can no longer be used to cast longstrider or monkey fish. The staff allows the use of freedom of movement for 2 charges and water breathing for 3 charges. The cost of fly decreases to 1 charge.
18th Level: The staff allows the use of find the path for 3 charges. The cost for water breathing decreases to 1 charge.
20th Level: The staff grants its owner a fly speed of 30 feet (poor maneuverability). Find the path now costs 2 charges, and freedom of movement costs only 1 charge. If the staff's wielder breaks the staff in two as a full-round action, she can transport herself and up to 19 allies to a safe location she knows extremely well. This ability ignores local conditions as if it were the transport travelers effect of a wish.
