Staff of Power!

Remove all ads!

I was looking through Shadowkeeper, and a very interesting weapon is in it. It is the Staff of Power.

I do not know where to find it! And I'm starting to beleive it is a BG1 weapon!

Does anyone know where this cool weapon is, or if in fact it is a BG1 weapon?

 

The Staff of Power is in BG2 proper; mages can get it as part of their stronghold tasks. I'm not going to spoil further unless requested.

 

Camdawg, you spoilsport. OK, here goes.

If you are playing a mage or a sorcerer, you will get the Planar Sphere as a stronghold if you do the Planar Sphere quest. The Cowled Wizards will give you three apprentices to train. They make magic items of varying degrees of difficulty. One of the options for the third item is the Staff Of Power. When I asked them to make it, they all died in an explosion.

 

@ Chris

Very well, I shall add more spoilers to your spoiler. You can only get the Staff if all three of your apprenti are still alive; and even then they only have a 50% cahance of being successful. Success or not, they're all killed in the attempt.

 

And I'll counter that.

CamDawg, sometimes you can get the staff if only two are alive. There's a random chance that you'll find it on the table in the room with the apprentices.

 

You learn something new every day. Thanks Rastor!

 

But you can't get the XP for your aprentices' gradation because they all have to be alive.

 

So what does the Staff of Power do? Both times I've taken the Planar Sphere as my stronghold, my mages have either died in another way or graduated so I've never gotten the Staff.

 

+2 saves, +2 AC, charges can be used for either a Globe of Invulnerability or a 10d6 paralyzing lightning bolt.

 

Thanks. I always wondered how you got it. Pity your apprentices have to die in the process, though.
