Quarterstaff Versatile |
Staff of a Mumbling Wizard is one of the Quarterstaff Weapons in Baldur's Gate 3 and can be obtained as a random prize spinning Akabi's Wheel of Wonders at the Circus of the Last Days. In BG3, each type of weapon has different ranges, damages, and other features (Finesse, Versatile, Dippable, etc.). Characters need to master certain Proficiency before using a weapon, and sometimes gain special Actions while holding it.
" Because it was designed by a compulsive mumbler, this staff can't distinguish between its spells, and so can only cast - Fireball or Firebolt at Random.

No longer a guaranteed hit after the latest patch. No patch notes for it or anything but it seems to be a regular attack roll now and can miss
When this works as intended (which I believe it does on patch 5), this is a bit insane.
You could make a Wizard/Sorcerer hybrid who has 30-60 damage firebolts that essentially have a "crit chance" to turn into fireball.
Twincast for only 1 sorcery point to double the damage and target selection, then quickcast for 3 sorcery points if you feel like using it for your bonus action as well.
This is all theory but I'm pretty sure it works, this is making me excited to play a caster now.
