Item: Hell Staff
A hell staff is a tall, pointed staff forged of red-tinted steel with Diabolic inscriptions that march neatly down its sides. At its top sits an inverted ruby pyramid divided into nine sections. Found mostly in Cheliax or other lands where diabolic influences hold sway, when used as a weapon the staff is a +3 greater striking flaming unholy staff. When you prepare this staff, if you're holy, you become Drained 1 until your next daily preparations.
The staff's summon lesser servitor spell can be used only to summon animals with the fiend trait, devils, or hell hounds (at 4th rank). Its summon fiend spell can summon only devils or hell hounds.

Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Club: You knock the target away from you up to 10 feet. This is forced movement.
