[QUOTE="TheLe, post: 3139603, member: 3981"] Our preview of [b]Treasures of Malevolent Magic[/b] continues with [b]Netherod[/b]... ---------------------------------------------------- [b]Netherod[/b] (Major Rod) Despite the rather ominous name this short rod is actually a powerful, if dangerous, tool for good. The rod acts as a special form of connection to the Negative Energy Plane. The peculiar nature of this portal allows negative energy to travel through it in only one direction – back to the plane. This has the effect of short circuiting undead in a rather spectacular fashion. With a successful melee touch attack against any corporeal undead with no more than 30 HD, the target must make a Fort save with a DC of 16 plus the wielders wisdom modifier; on a failed save the undead creature implodes into dust and is killed. Because the wielder serves as part of the conduit to the Negative Energy Plane there is a risk when using the Netherod. On a successful implosion the wielder must make a Fortitude save with a DC of 10 plus half the hit dice of the undead creature destroyed. Failure results in the wielder gaining one negative level which lasts for 24 hours but is never permanent. It is possible for the wielder to drain themselves to death if they are too eager to banish the undead. In that case the wielder also implodes upon death as they too (momentarily) become undead. At the GM’s discretion the Netherod may also be used to disrupt other forms of negative energy. Moderate Necromancy; CL 11th; Craft Rod, undeath to death; 120,000 gp. ---------------------------------------------------- [b]Treasures of Malevolent Magic[/b] is expected to be released this week.
