Staff of Arcane Blessing

Staff of Arcane Blessing is a uncommon Quarterstaff that grants the wielder the ability to cast Bless. In addition, all Bless spells cast by the wielder grant an additional +1d4 to Spell Attack Rolls.

Though dust has settled into every nook and cranny of this staff, it still emanates a soothing aura. Its previous owner cast it aside - forgotten because there was nobody to bless.

Where to find

• * This staff is found leaning up against a table in the basement of the Arcane Tower. To reach the basement, the player must either convince Bernard on the top floor to leave Guiding Light on a table, or defeat Bernard and take it. The ring can be used to activate a secret button on the tower's teleporter pad to reach the basement.
• Another way to reach the basement of the Arcane Tower is to go up the stairs behind the generator, use  Feather Fall, and jump down to the gap between the wall and the wooden staircase.
• If the party has a character capable of casting  Mage Hand, they can also cast it under the stairs through the same gap, and direct it to operate the switch which will open a hidden door in the wall.

Notes

• The wording of Mystra's Blessing may be a bit deceptive; it replaces (and does not stack with)  Bless, and the final buffs provided are as follows:
  • +1d4 to Saving Throws
  • +1d4 to Weapon Attack Rolls
  • +2d4 to Spell Attack Rolls
• Thus, Mystra's Blessing is equivalent to Bless, but with an additional effect of +1d4 to Spell Attack Rolls.
