Infinite Staff

Weapon (staff), rare (requires attunement)

An infinite staff seems impractically long all the time, its length ranging from x2- x3 the height of its wielder. But it also bends, flexes, and even shrinks as needed to fit through any space its wielder goes without ever catching on anything or getting stuck.

They are almost always made of rattan wood, which is ornately carved along its length with depictions of animals in monastic fighting uniforms, tipped at each end with a brass or steel endcap.

An infinite staff allows you to make melee attacks at a range of up to 60 feet, by extending itself out to that distance when you make an offensive maneuver.

Such staves often seem to be able to extend much, much farther, but are so wobbly and inaccurate past 60 feet that no use can be made of this additional distance. You cannot make attacks of opportunity at this range however, as the moment for such attacks comes and goes before the staff can extended to the appropriate length.

If any creature or object is between you can your target when you make a melee attack at range, it must attempt a DC 15 Dexterity save. On a failed save, it takes 1d4 damage as the infinite staff strikes a glancing blow on it before warping around it and proceeding to its end target. Any round you do not make an attack with the infinite staff you can instead use it to help maintain your balance, gaining advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks to keep your feet on tightropes and other narrow surfaces or slippery terrain such as ice.
