This article is about the weapon type in Pillars of Eternity. For the weapon type in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, see Rods (Deadfire).

Rods are two-handed ranged weapons in Pillars of Eternity. They have a moderate attack speed, and deal a moderate amount of Pierce or Slash damage (best of).

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.
