Line 1: Line 1:
Staff of Wonderous Smells - As a quarterstaff. It can be of any of the material staffs are normally made of. It does exceptional damage for a staff and is very durable. When it strikes an enemy in combat, it creates clouds of scents. One of two things can result. If a blue cloud is created, it is dropped on the PC. By staying in the cloud, the PC gains many positive intrinsics - Infravision, Haste, Telecontrol, Polycontrol, ESP, Levitate. If a red cloud is created, it is dropped on whatever enemy you just hit with the staff. It confers many negitive intrinsics, some of which aren't listed on the status line. As far as I can tell, you can get Teleportitis, Polymorphitis, slow, and dizzy from this. You, for apparent reasons, can not lose your sense of smell from the cloud, however. A blue cloud will allways be dropped on the PC and the red cloud will allways be dropped on mobs, no matter what. However, when the clouds are dropped they remain there until they vanish, which means that a monster can wander into a blue cloud or vice verse, which is dangerous.
