Looking through my old TSR books, and came across the Staff of the Serpent, which really works well for the Serpent's Skull AP, and would like to insert this magic item into the campaign in the hands of one of the antagonists.
+1 Quarterstaff that as a swift action x/day the head animates and all attacks also inflict poison (deathblade or wyvern, probably). How would you price something like that?
Oh, excellent! Thanks so much. I don't yet own Ultimate Equipment. More incentive to pick it up.
Actually both of these items should be in CRB. They are simply in different section as they became rods instead of staves due to specifically defined role of staves in Pathfinder (charged items that allow casting an array of spells).
The same applies toA D&D wand of wonder by the way - it became a rod if you ever will look for it.
