Scroll of aquirment - Staff.
That is all.
Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

I am not saying get rid of the rods, but using the word "staff" for an item that does not fall into the staves skill does not make much sense. The rods can be quite handy, but the actual name throws things off.

(my point was that you are being shallow; rods are magical staves (use by wielding and evoking to rod-cast rod-spells), but bashing with them is more macey than staffy so it falls into the maces and flails category for that purpose (they are not maces). crawl could indeed stand to be more clear about the matter, though; using "staff" to mean two things isn't very clear)
