MANATEC BLASTING STAFF

Attunement optional by a spellcaster

The lead model in Eldritch Infantry Assault Foci. The staff can be wielded as a heavy crossbow that grants a +2 bonus to attack and Damage rolls made with it. While holding the staff, you gain the benefit from the Crossbow Expert feat even if not attuned.

The damage dealt by the staff is different based on manufacturer specifications but only one type of damage for each staff produced. Damage options include piercing, fire, force, lightning, necrotic or radiant.

Overcharge: As part of an attack, an attuned spellcaster may burn mana up to your Max Spell. If you do, increase the damage dealt by 1d6 for each point of mana burned in this way. This may be decided after knowing the result of the attack roll similar to the paladin smite class feature.
