Staff of the Woodlands

Rare

**Staff, rare (requires attunement by a Druid)** *This staff is a braid of bone that ends with antlers emerging from a nest of oak leaves and acorns. It feels warm to the touch, and it smells of the rich earth of Lohringar. This staff was once infused with the searing glow of Turanok’s love for his daughter, now gone after she wielded it against him. Though it is now a shadow of its former self, the staff still holds a sliver of nature’s power.* This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, you have a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls. The staff has 10 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff loses its properties and becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff. **Spells** You can use an action to expend 1 or more of the staff's charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: • animal friendship (1 charge) • awaken (5 charges) • barkskin (2 charges) • l ocate animals or plants (2 charges) • s peak with animals (1 charge) • speak with plants (3 charges) • wall of thorns (6 charges). You can also use an action to cast the pass without trace spell from the staff without using any charges. **Tree Form.** You can use an action to plant one end of the staff in fertile earth and expend 1 charge to transform the staff into a healthy tree. The tree is 60 feet tall and has a 5-foot-diameter trunk, and its branches at the top spread out in a 20-foot radius. The tree appears ordinary but radiates a faint aura of transmutation magic if targeted by detect magic. While touching the tree and using another action to speak its command word, you return the staff to its normal form. Any creature in the tree falls when it reverts to a staff. This staff has the **temperate** minor property: While attuned to this staff, you suffer no harm in temperatures as cold as -20 degrees Fahrenheit or as warm as 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Shortsword, +2

Rare

**Weapon (Shortsword), rare (+2)** *The shortsword is made from the claw of a polar bear, with a white blade and a black tip. The wielder, when happy, growls.* You have a bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The bonus is determined by the weapon’s rarity.
