Quarterstaff of Entwined Serpents. Two questions.

[gatlingxyz]

First question: does a character actually have to be a follower of the attached god to use the item? In this case, Nethys.

Second question: is this item (and the others) upgrade-able? There's a paragraph in the beginning the makes me believe yes, but PFS rules may trump this.

Inner Sea Gods, p. 254, emphasis mine:

Quote:

The following are only some of the specific magic weapons popular among devout mortals. This section focuses on relatively inexpensive weapons that lowlevel characters can afford. For higher-level characters, remember that these weapons can be upgraded like any other magic item by adding plus-equivalent or gp-value abilities, then paying the difference between the original item’s price and its price with the additional abilities. The full rules for customizing magic weapons can be found in Chapter 15 of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook.

1: Not unless specified (which the QoES doesn't).

2: PFS rules trump that text.

Sounds about as I expected. Thanks a bunch.

Anyone can use this. As it's not a spell trigger item, you don't even need to make a umd check to activate the magic missiles. My unarmed primary monk used one as his backup weapon for most of his pfs career.
