A
zealot staff's color, iconography, and materials vary depending on the faith it's dedicated to. An
Iomedaean staff might be forged of gold and shaped like an ornamental sword, while a
Lamashtan one could instead be made of blackened iron depicting monstrous faces. Used as a weapon, the staff is a
+3 greater striking staff.
The staff represents vehement support of the deity to whom the staff is dedicated, punishing defiance. When the staff's effects require choosing alignments, you can choose only that deity's alignments. No such staves exist for deities that are true neutral. When you prepare this staff, if you don't worship its deity, you become
drained 1 until your next daily preparations.
