Aura: moderate Abjuration
Slot: None
Price: 12,000 gp
Weight: 8 lbs.

Description

This rod is a fusion of magic and the limb of a dangerous, nearly mindless aberration. This rod features a single writhing tentacle 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 tentacle attacks an adjacent creature as a melee touch attack (attack bonus +8). On a successful hit must succeed at a DC 14 Will saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 round. This paralysis is a mind-affecting fear effect.
