Rod of Eldritch Power
Beloved by warlocks, these rods augment the user's
eldritch blast.
Description: Although the various types of
rods of eldritch power vary somewhat in appearance,
they are all made of black iron. They average 2 feet in
length and are carved to resemble the straightened
spine of a demonic creature. A sculpted fiendish or
feylike head, clearly too small for the spine, protrudes
from one end.
When the rod is used, the wielder's eldritch blast
comes from the carved eyes and mouth of the sculpted
head, rather than from his hand.
Activation: A rod of eldritch power requires a swift
action to activate. It functions five times per day.
Effect: Each rod of eldritch power has one invocation—
either a blast shape invocation or an eldritch
essence invocation—contained within it. You can
will it to apply this invocation to any eldritch blast you
fire while holding it. This allows you to make use of
blast shape or eldritch essence invocations you might
not normally have, but it does not change the normal
restriction that only one invocation of each type can
be applied to any given blast.
Aura/Caster Level: Varies by equivalent level of
the invocation.
Least: Faint, no school. CL 1st.
Lesser. Moderate, no school. CL 6th.
Greater. Moderate, no school. CL 11th.
Dark: Strong, no school. CL 16th.
