Slot: None
Price: 40,000 gp
Weight: 8 lbs.

Description

This rod is a fusion of magic and the limb of a dangerous, nearly mindless aberration. This rod features four writhing tentacles at one end. The rod contains the mind of a living creature, but it does not have the ability to communicate via speech, empathy, or telepathy. If allowed, the rod attempts to attack creatures within reach, and must be stowed in a bag or backpack when the wielder is sleeping to keep it from grasping at the wielder or other creatures. On command, the tentacles attack an adjacent creature as a melee touch attack (attack bonus +12). The tentacles collectively deal 4d8 points of acid damage and the target must succeed at a DC 18 Will saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 round. This paralysis is a mind-affecting fear effect. These rods have a dedicated purpose: serve a bloodthirsty master.
