The
staff of the necromancer is a potent magic item that can be used by a
cleric, illusionist, or magic-user. Its components are a golden
skull head, a short black metal bar, a longer red metal bar, and a
tapering white metal tip at the bottom. It has these functions which
cost 1 charge each:
animate
dead
cone
of cold
darkness,
15' radius
feign
death
speak
with the dead
The
following powers drain 2 charges each and require a touch (a to hit
roll) with the staff.
energy
drain
mummy
rot
slay
living
The
staff may be used to strike opponents. It does 1d6 points of damage,
but can be used to hit creatures that can normally only be hit by
magic weapons of +3 or greater.
The
wielder of this staff takes on a haggard, almost skeletal appearance
losing about 20% of his or her weight gradually over a period of two
to three months.
The
staff can be recharged by 1 if its bottom is driven through the
beating heart of a living human being. If the one killed is a
paladin or a convicted murderer then three charges will be restored
