(PHB p.55)  That seems to contradict the intent, if not necessarily the letter, of the magic item's text.  But the example used in the quote from PHB p.226 is a flaming weapon, so if there were a specific-vs.-general issue here, it would still be covered by that.  Eh.  Screw it.  I hereby declare that powers with your Rod of the Dragonborn do all cold damage, and only have the cold keyword.  (as opposed to other damage type keywords, naturally.)  Sweet!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  See above comments about somewhere to shop, though; I'm open to other suggestions if you don't want this to be a big enough city for epic adventurers to shop there.  I'm not sure I follow the technical discussion about sequential parts, but I do agree that Lasting Frost isn't intended to apply on the initial hit.  Does that answer the question?</blockquote>
