Staves of Ascendance (3.0)

This supplement introduces twelve magic staves and rods that grow in power as their wielders advance in level, including the Staff of Doors and Bramblethorn, the Arm of the Woods. It also adds four prestige classes—the battlestaff scion, spellstaff scion, faithstaff scion, and swiftstaff scion—that grant access to the special abilities of legendary staves and rods. Guidelines explain how to incorporate these artifact-caliber items into a balanced heroic campaign.
