Baba Yaga’s Pestle

Weapon (quarterstaff), artifact (requires attunement)

• Damage:
  • One-handed: 1d6 bludgeoning
  • Two-handed: 1d8 bludgeoning
• Properties: Versatile
• Weight: 4.0 lbs.

The pestle is a 6-inch-long, worn wooden tool. Once during your turn while you are holding the pestle, you can extend it into a quarterstaff or shrink it back into a pestle (no action required). As a quarterstaff, the pestle is a magic weapon that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.

The pestle has 12 charges. When you hit with a melee attack using the pestle, you can expend up to 3 of its charges to deal an extra 1d8 force damage for each charge expended. The pestle regains all expended charges daily at dawn.
