Editing Snake Staff

[[Keep On The Borderlands]]

Acts as a Staff +1;  +1 on to-hit rolls and +1 damage for 1d6+1 total damage.  Upon command it will turn into a snake and coil around a creature.  The command may be spoken when a creature is hit.  Any victim man-sized or smaller will be held for 1d4 Turns, unless the snake is ordered to release them.  Larger creatures are unaffected by the snake.  Victims are allowed a save vs. staves to avoid the serpent's coils.

When freed, the snake will crawl back to its owner and become a staff again.  It is completely healed when it turns into a staff.  If killed in snake form, it will not turn back into a staff and will lose all magical properties.
