[QUOTE="Wolv0rine, post: 3367765, member: 9045"] [b]Rods[/b] A rod appears much like a scepter. Rods can be plain, ornate, fragile, sturdy, or anywhere in between. Unlike staves and wands, rods manifest effects rather than spells or affecting magical abilities. Rods require a mana pool to power any active effects they possess, although continuous effects (if any) do not require such powering. Rods generally manifest a power or set of powers that follow a theme. Example Rod: [u]Rod of Law:[/u] This rod is 2 ft. long, consisting of a handle of ivory (dyed red), and a rune-covered shaft that terminates in a golden claw gripping a large egg-shaped piece of jade. When the command word is spoken, the bearer of the rod is viewed by all with its radius (30 ft.) as the Final Word on all things while they are in the rod’s radius of effect. Each target may make a Will check (DC: 20) to avoid the rod’s power; success meaning the target may make its own decision concerning the rod bearer’s word. This ability costs 3 mana to activate, and 3 mana per round to maintain. The Rod of Law has a mana pool equal to half the maximum of its creator at the time of its creation. [/QUOTE]
