Can you use a Staff if you can cast the required spells as innate spells?

You can Cast a Spell from a staff only if you have that spell on your spell list, are able to cast spells of the appropriate level, and expend a number of charges from the staff equal to the spell’s level.

How does this work with innate spells, or specifically say, a Runescarred character with a staff of Divination, and having True Strike as one of their Spell Runes. Would they be able to use a staff?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

The way I see it, innate spells don't make you a spellcaster and don't give you access to a spell list.

So no, I wouldn't allow a character to use a Staff based on innate spells.


having innate spells isn't having a spell list, so it can't satisfy the first requirement casting a spell from a staff.
