I am reading the book from the rogue series and was wondering what the powers and specs on the staff were, it would be cool if they started to put stuff like that at the end of the book, or were I could find them in a mannual of some sorts. thanks
One of the problems you'll often encounter dealing with game fiction is that game stats and fiction do not necessarily mesh well.
However, the Alabaster Staff is an artifact. Basically unlimited charges of Animate Dead, plus enhanced ability to control undead. If you can get the TSR "Old Empires" supplement, there's a staff in there that served as a launch pad (I forget the name, and having jsut moved, cannot look it up).
