Family: Wand of Toppling

A wand of toppling is made of a translucent material that is slightly warm to the touch. At a guess, it would appear the wand is made of coherent force, rather than an actual material. It is entirely inflexible, but it is only 9 inches long and rounded on both ends, making it largely unusable as a weapon, except as it augment's the wielder's own magical assaults.

An expert's wand of toppling augments the wielder's force-based spells such that they might also knock down an successfully struck target. Up to once per encounter, when the wielder casts a spell or spell-like ability that inflicts force (energy, uncommon) damage, the wielder may also make a bailiwick check against the target's Maneuver Defense. If the check equals or exceeds this target, the target gains the splayed condition, in addition to the damage the spell normally inflicts.

This wand can only apply the knockdown effect to one target, even if the force-based spell or spell-like ability can target more than one creature. The wielder chooses which one they want to try to affect.

Note that monsters can only ever suffer from one condition at a time, so if the spell or spell-like ability would also inflict a condition (in addition to dealing force damage), the wielder must choose which condition they want to attempt to inflict on their target.

This magic item does not require an attunement period, and grants its benefits immediately upon being worn or wielded.
