Weapon

Very Rare Required by a cleric or sworn follower of Balan; weapon (one-handed) Requires Attunement

This rod is treated as mace and is a magical weapon dealing +2 to all attack and damage rolls. It can also be attuned to and used as spell casting focus for a cleric of Balan. If the user rolls a natural 20 when making a melee weapon attack on a creature, the creature is paralyzed for 1 minute or until the rod's wielder expends a charge of the rod and releases the creature from the paralysis. The mace has 10 charges. When you hit with a melee attack using it, you can expend up to 3 of its charges. For each charge you expend, the target takes an extra 1d4 force damage. The staff regains 1d6+4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff becomes a nonmagical rod.

A straight rod of unadorned iron the length of a man's forearm. When swung it sounds like the flipping of a page.
