Moderate Caduceus Rod
- Cost: 4,500 gp
- Weight: 4 lbs.
This rod is shaped like a caduceus — a pair of white snakes crossing back and forth among themselves, around a scepter. The two snakes face each other just under the head of the scepter, which is shaped like a pair of small white wings. The whole rod is somewhat heavy, but it is easy to grip.
Wielders of this rod can utter a command word as a standard action to cast a Cure Moderate Wounds spell, using up one charge from the rod.
Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds.
Creatures that have spell resistance make a WILL save against this effect, with a save DC based on the rod's caster level, listed on the table below. Success on the save means that the spell has no effect on that creature. Failure means the spell affects them normally.
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:
