Staff of Ethereal Action
by Ed Greenwood
Also known as a Blink staff, this item
appears to be a normal
wooden staff, but when a command word is spoken, it allows the
holder to Blink (as in the spell) for a total of up to 2 turns per
day.
In battle or other circumstances where quick, repeated Blinks
are desired, the holder of the staff can blink “in and out” at the
rate of one blink (in either direction) per segment. The staff
neither has nor requires charges.
The staff is also a +1 weapon, and is able to strike creatures on
the ethereal plane (such as couatl, ghosts, phase spiders, and
characters using Armor or Oil of Etherealness) as well as those
on the prime material.
