Rod of Bearing

Rod of Bearing

CL 1 Magic Rod • Weak Transmutation

Cost: 750 gp

Weight: 4 lbs.

This rod is in the shape of a miniature ox yoke, suitable to be placed across the shoulders of a typical size Small, Medium, or even large humanoid. When so placed and the command word is uttered, strength floods through the touched creature.

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

When this rod is laid across the shoulders of a creature and the wielder speaks the command word, the touched creature's light carrying capacity is increased by 10 pounds per creator level of the rod. This bonus is then multiplied for the other types of load (medium, heavy, lift, drag). This does not affect the creature's actual Strength in any way, merely the amount of material they can carry while benefiting from this item. This spell also has no effect on encumbrance due to armor. If the creature wears medium or heavy armor, they still take the normal penalties for doing so, regardless of how much weight the spell allows them to carry. This boon to strength lasts until the touched creature takes a full night's rest.

This spell does not place a charge on its target, meaning that it can stack with other spell-based buffs.

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:
