Balancing Pole

The Balancing Pole appears initially to be a short wooden pole, about 5 feet long and slightly flexible. When attuned to this item, you can use a bonus action to grip it more tightly, extending its length to 10 feet. When attuned to the pole in this extended state, you automatically succeed on any checks required to maintain your balance. Additionally, you can maintain your altitude when walking off ledges by making a Dexterity save with a cumulative DC 5 for every round you spend in the air. Anything that would break your concentration automatically makes you fall out of this state. When floating in this manner, your speed becomes 15 feet, and cannot be increased by any means. You can use a bonus action when on the ground to revert the pole to its 5-foot length.

Notes: Medium or smaller creature holding it tightly in both hands for at least 1 hour during a short or long rest
