That's the problem, Rawn. A rigid prop (such as a staff) should not "inherit bends"... A prop that would inherit bends is one that would flex at a joint. For example, a pauldron on the shoulder that bends with the shoulder. Just by parenting, it automatically assumes the same position relative to the body part without needing "inherit bends"... it doesn't mean inheriting the X, Y, and Z rotations, it means inheriting the deformations of the mesh such bends cause.
