I noted this in the comments for each NPC entry on D&D Beyond but it has not been edited. I'm posting this here for visibility.
Staff of Power gives +2 to AC, spell attack rolls and saving throws. Manshoon and Vajra have the +2 bonus included in the first two stats but the bonus is missing in their saving throws section. Note in Vajra's case the Blackstaff has all the properties of a Staff of Power in addition to its unique powers.
What is curious is in the actual book their saving throw listings are correct. As in they include this bonus, and also list the values for all six saves since they have a bonus to all of them beyond their ability modifier. On the website they only list INT and WIS saves with their proficiency bonus and stat modifier.
Manshoon's saving throws should read as: STR +2, DEX +4, CON +3, INT +13, WIS +9, CHA +5
Vajra Sahafr's saving throws should read as: STR +2, DEX +4, CON +3, INT +12, WIS +7, CHA +5
I'm not sure if this is a bug, an oversight, or copying from an earlier draft of the text but it needs to be edited.
Edit: I mispelled Vajra Safahr's surname in the title, though I imagine anyone looking into this will succeed their Investigation check in finding the correct NPC entry.
Thanks for the report - I'll pass this along to the Game Content team for further review.
Edit: I confirmed with the team that it looks to be a bug that'll be in a future update - its not quite as easy as it seems on first glance. No ETA as to when this'll be corrected. Thank you for bringing it to our attention though!
Thank you for passing it along and the quick response. I'm guessing if this is due to "bug" then perhaps derivative stats like saving throws are calculated in the app instead of manually entered from the source material?
If so then maybe other characters that have a Staff of Power equipped may have the same issue. I only know of these two because I specifically purchased them à la carte
