This seemingly ordinary oak cane, capped with a worn pewter knob in the shape of a hop cone, is a familiar sight behind the bar. Patrons know it well - a steady thump from the cane against the counter signals another round of drinks. But looks can be deceiving. The cane is a quarterstaff*, magically imbued with a faint enchantment.
-
Subtle Defense: While the cane appears simple, it is surprisingly sturdy. When wielded as a quarterstaff, it has the same heft and damage potential as any ordinary one. A flick of the wrist can transform the cane into a quarterstaff in an instant, ready to defend against any unruly customer.
-
Prestidigitation Perks: A secret inscription winds its way around the shaft, invisible to the naked eye. The barkeep can use a bonus action to utter a command word and subtly cast a prestidigitation cantrip through the cane. This allows for a variety of minor magical effects to enhance their work, like extinguishing candles from afar, keeping mugs frosty cold, or even adding a faint illusionary froth to a mug of ale.
Proficiency with a Quarterstaff allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
