Rod of the Thrice Scorned
Rod of the Thrice Scorned
- Cost: 22,500 gp
- Weight: 4 lbs.
This rod is made in a spiteful, hateful fashion. It is carved from the heartwood of an ancient sourwood, it is bound with the sinews of a rabid dog, the nails are taken from the coffin of a murderer of children, and the endcaps, of black-tarnished silver, are made from coins stolen from a good man's grave.
Wielders of this rod can utter a command word as a standard action to cast a Bestow Curse spell, using up one charge from the rod. For the cost of three charges it can be activated as a swift action instead, and for the cost of five charges, it can be activated as an immediate action even outside the wielder's normal turn.
- The curse bestowed by this spell cannot be dispelled with a regular Dispel Magic (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell), but it can be removed with Dispel Magic, Greater (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell), or via a Wish, Limited (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell), Miracle (Cleric Spell), Remove Curse (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell), or Wish (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell).
This device lays a divine charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays a divine charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have a divine charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one divine charge can ever be present on a target at a time.
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:
