Craft Staff [Item Creation]

You can create magic staffs, domain staffs, or runestaffs, each of which has multiple magical effects.

Prerequisite: Caster level 12th.

Benefit: You can create any staff, domain staff, or runestaff whose prerequisites you meet. Crafting a staff takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To craft a staff, you must spend 1⁄25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of its base price. A newly created staff has 50 charges.

Some staffs incur extra costs in material components or XP, as noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to those derived from the staff ’s base price.

See Creating Staffs, Creating Domain Staffs, and Creating Runestaffs for more details.
