A staff of the woodlands was a powerful, enchanted staff.[2]
Description[]
Theses staves were always made from the wood of either an ash, oak, or yew tree. This wood was finely grained, carved, then bound and shodded with bronze.[3]
Abilities[]
Those who wielded one of these staves could cast animal friendship, speak with animals, and wall of thorns. They were also allowed one to animate a tree in a similar manner to the innate ability possessed by treants.[3]
Higher value versions of these staves conferred additional powers, such as barkskin and pass without trace.[3]
Notable Staves of the Woodlands[]
