Drow Rod of Tentacles

[Urklore]

Does anyone know if there are d20 conversions for the Drow Rod of Tentacles in any sourcebooks.

I can't help, but my morbid curiosity prompts me to ask what exactly a Rod of Tentacles is and what it's used for, though I suspect that I won't like the answer.

Sounds like something you'd see in some Japanime.

In all seriousness I haven't seen a d20 conversion. I'd check FR Underdark for it. Why don't you post the 2E (or was it 1E... I seem to remember it in Vault of the Drow) stats here and let us help convert it for you?

I tried to come up with a few witty replies, but everything I could think of would offend Eric's grandmother. Seeing as I fear for my life, I'll just say that it's a weapon. Probably good for grappling attacks. Those cookey Drow.. What will they think of next?

THe rod of tentacles was a (following text blackened due to spoilers)weapon used by Eclavdra, the drow priestess who organized the Giant raids in the module Against the Giants. The rod was held as a weapon and from it sprang various tentacles that had various effects like paralysis or worse. There were different types of Tentacle Rods, a Lesser and Greater I believe.

It's Cthuloid more than hentai, y'know... the rod (formerly wand) is an iconic weapon of the clergy of Ghaunadaur/the Elder Elemental God, a pseudo-Lovecraftian entity.

And yes, there's a 3e conversion in the
web enhancement to the FR module City of the Spider Queen.

Both of which are officially converted for 3.0 in WoTC/Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil module, a.k.a. RttToEE. They were also apparently in the Arms & Equipment guide. You can find stats in http://www.crystalkeep.com/d20/rules/DnD3.0Index-MagicItems-WeaponsArmor.pdf

They were also in dragon 298. Thanks for the tip about RttTEE. I didnt know they were in that module.

Just be glad he wasn't asking for a Wand of viscous globs.

BTW from the drow dictionary...

Alartae = greater tentacle rod
Olartae = lesser tentacle rod

BTW, is the Wand of Vicious Globs converted somewhere?
