Description and use¶
Rod, Rare (Requires Attunement) You can take a Magic action to present the rod and command obedience from each creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of yourself.
Each target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or have the Charmed condition for 8 hours.
While Charmed in this way, the creature regards you as its trusted leader.
If harmed by you or your allies or commanded to do something contrary to its nature, a target ceases to be Charmed in this way.
Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Weight¶
Weight per inventory unit: Not fixed / not specified
DMG rods typically weigh 2–5 lb (PDF page 219); set the actual rod weight.
Counts multiply by inventory quantity. Ammunition quantities count individual pieces; other bundle entries and complete packs use the printed bundle weight. Do not add the same contents separately when using a complete equipment pack. See Carrying capacity for character limits.
