Way of the Arcane Staff - HB

You gain the ability to cast magical spells using a mysterious staff of pure energy that you can summon at will. Maybe it is a power you have had since birth, maybe it is a gift from the being you worship, but you know one thing for sure... It certainly has its perks.

Spellcasting

You can now cast Wizard spells using your Wisdom modifier. Once per level, you can switch out one spell you have with a new spell.

Arcane Staff

As a bonus action, you can summon your Arcane Staff. This Arcane Staff uses either your Wisdom or your Dexterity modifier to hit, counts as a monk weapon for you, does force damage, and can be used as your arcane focus. You can dismiss this weapon at will.

Defensive Stance

Your Armor Class goes up by 2 while your Arcane Staff is summoned.

Effective Staff

You can spend a short rest attuning a magical staff to your Arcane Staff, and at the end of the short rest, your Arcane Staff has the effects of the magical staff, which disappears. This effect remains until you add a different staff's abilities to your Arcane Staff.

Aggressive Stance

Your Arcane Staff now does a critical hit on a 19 or a 20.
