A Rod of Combat is fashioned from very dark and very dense wood. It appears to be a nicely made club, with a cross-hatched grip, slight guard and polished business end. Engraved into the rod is the word "Power!" written along the shaft in red script. On the opposite side of the shaft is written "Power! Power!" It has the following abilities.
- Magic Weapon - The rod is a +1 magical weapon that causes 1d8+1 damage.
- Power - By loudly speaking "Power!", the bonus of the rod increases by 1 for 2 rounds, thus becoming a +2 weapon. This uses 1 charge. This can be done anytime during the round and will last until the same point two rounds later (i.e., if spoken on initiative 5 of one round, it will last until initiative 6 two rounds later). Speaking the word again before the bonus expires will have no effect.
- Power, Power - By loudly speaking "Power! Power!", the bonus of the rod is increased by 2 for 1 round, thus becoming a +3 weapon. This uses 3 charges.
- Charges - The rod has 5 charges that automatically renew at midnight each night.
- Weapon Flexibility - The rod can be wielded using club, mace or short sword skill.
