A magic staff is a long piece of wood, bone, or metal that stores
several spells. A cleric or wizard can use a spell from a staff just
like casting a prepared spell, except you can use it even when
you’re adjacent to an enemy (see Concentration). Only clerics can use cleric spells from a
staff, and only wizards can use wizard spells from a staff.
USING A STAFF
A staff starts with 10 charges. Casting a spell from a staff uses a
certain number of charges, as listed in the table below. A staff
always works at caster level 5. Saving throw DCs for a staff use
your INT Mod (if a wizard) or WIS Mod (if a cleric). You have to
hold a staff with at least one hand to use it.
PRICE OF A STAFF
If you sell a staff, its price is the same no matter how many
charges it has left.
RECHARGING A STAFF
If you are a 5th-level cleric or wizard and can use a staff, you
can recharge it. When you prepare your spells, you may cross
off one 3rd-level spell (as if you had cast it that day) in order to
restore 1 charge to a staff. A staff can’t be recharged more than
once a day and it can’t be charged above 10 charges.
