{"name":"Gulthias Staff","item_type":"Staff","rarity":"Varies","price":"501 gp - 5,000 gp","weight":"","properties":"","description":"Made from the branch of a Gulthias tree (see the blights entry in the Monster Manual), a Gulthias staff is a spongy, black length of wood. Its evil makes beasts visibly uncomfortable while within 30 feet of it. The staff has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 of its expended charges daily at dusk.\r\n\r\nIf the staff is broken or burned to ashes, its wood releases a terrible, inhuman scream that can be heard out to a range of 300 feet. All blights that can hear the scream immediately wither and die.\r\n\r\n[b]Vampiric Strike:[\/b] The staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff. On a hit, it deals damage as a normal quarterstaff, and you can expend 1 charge to regain a number of hit points equal to the damage dealt by the weapon. Each time a charge is spent, red blood oozes from the staff's pores, and you must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be afflicted with short-term madness (see \"Madness\" in chapter 8 of the Dungeon Master's Guide).\r\n\r\n[b]Blight Bane:[\/b] While you are attuned to the staff, blights and other evil plant creatures don't regard you as hostile unless you harm them.","armor_class":"","strength_requirement":"","weapon_subtype":"None","weapon_damage":"","weapon_secondary_damage":"","weapon_damage_type":"None","weapon_range":"","item_needs_attunement":"1","attunement":"","source":"COS","image_gallery_id":"","tags":"Staff, Magic, Rare","isShared":"on","templateId":"2999","blockId":"1488673","world":"4fb9d855-142b-4776-972c-9b680c1d330a","folder":"32400"}
