Rod of the Martyr

CL 5 Magic Rod • Weak Conjuration
Cost: 11,250 gp
Weight: 4 lbs.

This rod is made in the form of a measuring stick, a square haft of darkly polished wood, carefully gradated, with a set of slides made of gold and brass snugly clasped around it. As the wielder slides the measuring clasps and speaks a command word, the rod glows with a golden nimbus.

Wielders of this rod can utter a command word as a standard action to cast an Accept Affliction spell, using up one charge from the rod.

When the wielder pronounces the command word and selects a target within 30 feet of their space, they may transfer the effects of afflictions such as curses, diseases, poisons, or any Status Conditions from the target creature to the caster. As the condition is transferred, it is weakened by one step on the condition array. For example, a Poisoned condition becomes Tainted when it is transferred to the caster's body. Once the condition is transferred, the caster is free to try to clear the condition, via the usual methods (e.g. Restoration (Cleric Spell), etc.), if they wish, and have actions remaining to do so.


You can purchase this rod at a higher creator level than the minimum required to cast the spell. Doing so increases the potency of the spell as described above, but also increases the cost, as follows:
