Rod is a weapon in Pillars of Eternity. It is the most basic of rod-type weapons.

Description

Rods are the largest of the magical implements and can be distinguished from wands and sceptres by the "heads" on each end. Rods focus and release more soul energy than wands or scepters. This attribute makes their blows more powerful, but they recharge and fire more slowly.
