Its name comes from its foot-long, cylindrical shape covered in a thin, slightly reflective integument. Going completely along each of its sides are wide, rippled flaps of membrane that aid in its lightning-fast flitting. Each end of the rod has a small orifice. Though very vaguely insectoid a rod has much more in common with a protozoa and is in fact a macrobe, a large single-celled organism. Rods are seen in nearly every plane in existence, flitting about at awesome speeds and then later disapearing, sometimes never to be seen again. Some say they hail from the Elemental Plane of Air, others pinpoint it down to Pandemonium, but neither are known for certain. They are used by their enigmatic masters as spies or scouts mentally linked so as to be their distant eyes and ears. Little more is known as it is nigh impossible to keep up with them across the planes. Blindsight (Ex):A rod can sense all things within 600 feet by the changes in air pressure to which it is phenomenally sensitive. Extreme Velocity (Ex):A rod's speed is so great that it is difficult to notice one moving at full speed. A spot check DC (18) must be made every round to notice the creature, and even then it is but a brief blur. True Seeing and similiar spells are powerless to aid in this as the rod is perfectly visible. Those with blindsight or echolocation suffer no penalty. Natural Shifting (Su):A rod can use the plane shift ability in reguards to itself at will, allowing it to travel back to the realm from whence it was sent or to others entirely. Wind Immunity (Su):A rod is immune to even the roughest of winds as it reflexively changes the air pressure about itself so that it flies in a near vaccuum (which is also what allows for its phenomenal speeds). This permits it to ignore even air-based spells and telekinetic powers such as Tornado Blast and Control Air.</blockquote>
