Staffs

Mages get staffs.

Clerics have one staff. It seems to me that clerics and druids should share staffs like mages do. Nothing too insane like +4 wisdom and use of spells. Maybe ONE staff that has +2 wisdom on it and thats all.

It also seems that they were going to make staffs for clerics but forgot about it and left them with one.

i think when a cleric or a druid is made right its far to powerfull because druids and clerics dont just depend on spells you can use weapons aswell unlike wiz and sorcs only depend on spells like torm and i dont think cleric and druids need the extra wisdom to get to use there spells more

But using a staff takes away the weapon so it's a fair trade. And I don't mean things as insane as the mages staffs. I said one staff with +2 wisdom and nothing else on it.

The other staffs would just be excess buffs or minor healing spells.

I'd like it because it would make people maybe shy away from battle clerics (which most clerics are).

They have one staff for clerics only atm. It does look like they were planning on adding other ones but forgot.

No +WIS staffs, too powerful. They don't need to raise their DC's anymore.

Than maybe spell penetration, or buffs that they don't get usually that might help the team more.

No + wisdom than. Maybe bonus spell slots.

Well the truth be told. Staves haven't changed much since the original EW.

Mmmmm spell pen is pushing it.. that's giving them quite a bit more power.. they wouldn't have to take it as a feat, and could take something else..

I'm against it.

It doesn't make sense that mages staffs get focus on spells and spell pen when they get tons more feats that are only magic related.

Well instead of denying everything I say how about making your own ideas that you would like to see.

Ya, the spell focus ones are not fair, thats for sure. I want to wait on those first though after I get rid of some ammies that might be the cause to mages being tough right now.

How about just like the one rod they have now. Healing spell / buffing spell.

And maybe a few rods with 2 attack spells.

You know don't make them too harsh just maybe a rod of electricity has chain lightning call lightning scintilating sphere. Something that might make it look cool and be easy to resist with one item.

Yes, I'm thinking similar to that too.

Make the staffs glow thing look the same color if that is possible. I'm obsessed with staffs now.

Here are some I can think of off the top of my head.

Good/Evil Staff of lightning
Uses of
Scintilating Sphere
Call Lightning
5% immunity or 5/- to electric
A Greater version of that could contain Chain Lightning.

Good/Evil Staff of fire

Fireball
Flame Strike
Firebrand (1 arrow only)
5% immunity or 5/- to fire
Good/Evil Staff of Elemential Defense
Energy Buffer
Resist/Endure/Protection from Elements.

Just some ideas.

the first staff you mentioned sound alright but the secound one sound abit too powerfull attack and defense spells together

i think you should seperate them
