Staff of the Ram

For the passive feature, see Staff of the Ram (passive feature).

The Staff of the Ram is a +2 Quarterstaff that can Stun and push back a target on a hit.

Fashioned by some unknown archmage - no identifying insignia is forthcoming. The staff thrums with a slow, ferocious pulse that draws its concussive power from the spiral-horned creatures that gave the weapon its name

Where to find

• Elerrathin's Home X: -1572 Y: 976: in an opulent chest in the basement

Notes

• The chest containing this weapon is in a room behind a locked ( DC 18 Sleight of Hand Check) bookcase.

Notes included from Staff of the Ram (passive feature):

• Staff of the Ram does not actually require a hit to trigger, and displays a saving throw roll in the combat log after every attack (and many actions) made by the wielder of this weapon. Casting  Shillelagh while wielding it causes the effect to target the wielder, but it does nothing on a failed save.

Bugs

• From examining this weapon's game code it appears it should deal an additional 1d6⁠⁠Force, but is not present on the item when acquired through normal in-game means. This can be fixed by recruiting a hireling, having them equip the staff, dismissing them to the Fugue Plane, then recruiting them again. The version of the staff the hireling spawns back in with does have the additional 1d6⁠⁠Force damage.
• Another method to force the game to spawn the staff with the additional 1d6⁠⁠Force damage is to duplicate it using the Invoke Duplicity exploit.
