The staff has 10 charges, which are used to fuel the spells within it. With the staff in hand, you can use your action to cast one of the following spells from the staff if the spell is on your class's spell list: spider climb (1 charge) or web (2 charges, spell save DC 15).

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Nezzar can take a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects; Nezzar can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

Nezzar rolls a d8. If the roll is 4 or below, he regains a 1st-level spell slot. If it is 5 or higher, he regains a 2nd-level spell slot. If Nezzar has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.

Nezzar invokes the power of Lolth, darkening his lair. Until initiative count 20, all natural sources of light are obscured by Lolth’s power, plunging the lair into darkness, Blinding all creatures lacking Darkvision or a similar sense. If the light is from a spell of 2nd-level or lower, that light is automatically suppressed for the duration of the effect. If it is 3rd-level or higher, Nezzar must roll as though he were casting dispel magic to see if the light is suppressed for the duration.

Nezzar’s lair crackles with eldritch power, bolts of dark magic arcing everywhere. Nezzar can target any number of creatures he can see within his lair with this power, and targets must succeed a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or take 7 (2d6) force damage.

Nezzar invokes the power of Lolth, conjuring a swarm of spiders to bite a foe he can see. The target must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 9 (2d8) poison damage. If the target fails the throw by 5 or more, it is considered Poisoned for the next minute.

A creature poisoned by the staff in this way must attempt a DC 15 Constitution check at the end of each of its subsequent turns or suffer an additional 10 (3d6) poison damage. On a successful save, the poisoned condition instead ends. A creature poisoned by the staff, cannot be poisoned by it again while the condition lasts.
