Rod of the Commander

Rod of the Commander

CL 1 Magic Rod • Weak Enchantment

Cost: 750 gp

Weight: 4 lbs.

This rod is made in the form of a scepter, worty of the grasp of a king or emperor. When presented strongly and the command word is spoken, it flashes with the light of divine right, enforcing obedience.

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

When the wielder pronounces the command word and presents the rod to a single target within 30 feet of their space, the rod flashes with the divine right to rule. The wielder's words echo with Deific Will to make them into a nearly invincible compulsion. You give the subject a single command, which it obeys to the best of its ability at its earliest opportunity, unless they succeed at a Willpower saving throw against a DC set by the creator level of the rod.. You may select from the following options.

• Approach: On its turn, the subject moves toward you as quickly and directly as possible for 1 move action. The creature may do nothing but move during its turn, and it provokes attacks of opportunity for this movement as normal.

• Drop: On its turn, the subject is treated as though a successful Disarm maneuver was carried out against it. It can't pick up any dropped item until its next turn.

• Fall: On its turn, the subject falls to a knee and remains Quelled for 1 round. It may do nothing else but fall to a knee, and cannot take any actions while quelled.

• Flee: On its turn, the subject moves away from you as quickly as possible for 1 move action. It may do nothing but move during its turn, and it provokes attacks of opportunity for this movement as normal.

• Halt: The subject stands in place for 1 round. It may not take any actions (not even fighting defensively) but is not considered helpless.

If the subject can't carry out your command on its next turn, the spell automatically fails.

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:
