Staff of Harming?


Rules Discussion

Horizon Hunters

I have looked through Archive of Nethys and there is a Staff of Healing, but no Staff of Harm. How does a Harm Cleric get a usefull staff for Cast Down/Harm combo use?

I know that there is a Staff of the Dead, but that's for smacking around your enemies with Void energy & Summomning Undead.

Does one craft a Staff of Healing, but insert Harm for Heal at the various levels? A Cloistered Cleric could use one to fix up/Harm his one Dhampir party member and use his Heal Font for the rest.


I know of no staff with the harm spell in it. Personalized Staffs (the closest to what you're requesting in the final paragraph) are not used in PFS.

I've scooted this over to general Second Edition Rules Discussion to see if you can get some more help since, as Squark said, altering staves in this way is not something done in Pathfinder Society!

No Staff listed on AoN has the Harm spell.

Best to go for a Staff with spells your Cleric would cast with their slots and fill said slots with Harm.

Or you can use scrolls of Harm.

A fun way to go around this would be with a Necromancer MC Cleric who could use a Healing Staff to damage living beings thanks to Mastery of Life and Death. But you would have to wait till level 12 to get Cast Down.

As a mostly PFS player, anything requiring a wait until 12th level is unfeasible. Thanks for the sugestion, though.

It looks like I will take in a 1st level Harm or two, to use with Cast down and see how that works. The 1d8 damage isn't the point; the point is to prone the Boss in a Boss fight.
