Re: Sand Staff
At this point in the conversation, one of the players in my campaign would invariably say, "Is it a full staff, or just a publicist and a girl Friday?"
Seriously, though, the HA would be the way to go. And if it can be made of ANY small, stony, particulate matter (i.e., pebbles, gravel, or even just ordinary dirt) and not just sand, maybe a -1/4 limitation (Requires Loose Ground Nearby) would be appropriate. More points, but you can use it in Iowa and not just at the beach.
