Staff of Osiris (Magic Staff)

This staff is made of dark mahogany and is covered with painted hieroglyphs. A quarterstaff +3, it is a favored weapon of the priests of Osiris: at least 20 are known to still exist today.
In addition to its attacks, the staff blocks one successful attack each round: the first successful melee attack against the wielder is automatically negated. This does not prevent ranged attacks, such as missile weapons and spells, from causing damage but it does stop sword thrusts, other staves, daggers, and melee weapons. In spite of its name, a staff of Osiris may be used by any priesthood, including Set's.
