Amun-Re's Staff of Ruling
The Staff that blonged to Amun-Re and half of the items needed to break the curse that he has over the Desert of Desolation.
In the hands of one who knows how to use it, the staff is capable of three types of magic. The staff holds 5 charges of each type.
1. Striking the tip to the ground three times will cause the staff to polymorph itself into a large venomous snake with an alignment the same as the wielder of the staff. The snake will attack whoever the wielder directs. Grasping the snake firmly by the tail ( - 2 to hit) polymorphs the snake back to the golden staff. If the snake is ever killed in combat, it transforms into the staff at that spot.
Snake: AC 4; MV15"; HD4; hp 28; #AT 1; 1d4 + poison (save vs. poison or die).
2. Striking the ground twice and then spinning the tip in the air will create a globe of ball of lightning. For every round the staff is spun before releasing the globe at its target, the lightning charge will develop 1d10 points of damage potential. The wielder cannot move, be hit, or be distracted while controlling the spin or the globe detonates on the spot with as much damage as had been spun to that point.
3. Striking the ground only once and then pointing the staff skyward will produce a clap of thunder of such volume that all exposed creatures within 1000 feet must save vs. petrification or be struck with fear for 1d10 rounds.
