Staff of the Emperor

Staff of the Emperor is a rare +2 Quarterstaff that enhances the wielder's spells and possibly stuns enemy spellcasters.

Ceremorphosis eradicates great swathes of the conciousness that came before... but not everything. Touching the staff, a fragment of the Emperor's memory slithers into your brain - you see sea waves foaming into spume, and feel the explorer's exultant joy. Then the image is gone, like so much silken night under a cut-shade sun.

Where to find

• Astral Plane X: -160 Y: -1165: Carried by  The Emperor

Notes

• This weapon can be acquired by disarming The Emperor in the Astral Plane during the transition from Act Two to Act Three with any disarming effect that works on allies. These include  Disarming Attack (Melee),  Disarming Attack (Ranged),  Disarming Strike,  Honeyed Paws, and  Dirty Trick: Flick o' the Wrist.
•  Command: Drop,  Fear, and their variants can only be used to disarm the Emperor if the party attacks it during the pre-fight conversation, because they only affect hostile creatures.

Regarding Imperial Retaliation:

• Though not mentioned in the description, Imperial Retaliation only applies when the wielder succeeds on a saving throw against a spell, not any other saving throws.
