Neera's Staff +1 is a Quarterstaff +1 with a twist courtesy of Neera's own Wild Magic, or possibly just her lack of skill in enchanting weapons. Neera starts with it and, as is usually the case with magic items that share a follower's name, only she can equip it.
Description[]
| “ | This finely crafted and intricately engraved quarterstaff was "improved" upon by Neera herself. Her intent was to create a staff that would inflict fiery pain upon its victims, but she fell slightly short of that goal. While it can light enemies aflame, there is also the chance that the staff will backfire and incinerate its wielder. | ” |
Gameplay[]
When Neera hits an enemy with this staff, both of them roll their own 100-faced die, giving each an 11% chance to take one point of fire damage. Like almost all elemental on-hit damage, it can only be blocked by the appropriate damage resistance or by the defender's weapon immunity.[1][2] Due to rounding concerns, a minimum of 100% resistance to fire is necessary to resist that point of damage, and absorbing it to heal is not possible.
Footnotes[]
- ↑ Extra on-hit damage can also be blocked by Stoneskin when it is physical, but this does not apply to Neera's Staff.
- ↑ The extra on-hit damage of a few weapons and enemy attacks can also be blocked with defenses based on power level (Globe of Invulnerability), spell school (Spell Immunity) or spell type (Cloak of Mirroring), by magic resistance or by successful saving throw, but it is uncommon and does not apply to Neera's Staff.
