''This rod of wrought iron has a large bell on it upside down, with the clapper inside clanging about.  It produces strangely harmonious notes long after it should have ceased ringing.''

The bell rod acts as a ''+1 [[SRD:Heavy Mace|heavy mace]]'' that does an extra 1d4 sonic damage on a successful hit with it.  It also sets the bell ringing for 1d4 rounds, and when ringing it can produce several effects, each a standard action.

'''Countersound:''' Make a Perform (percussion) check.  You can duplicate the effect of a [[bard|bard's countersong]] for up to as long as the bell remains ringing.

'''Deafening Clang:''' As a standard action you can make a single melee attack while it is ringing.  You deal damage as normal, and the creature must make a [[Fortitude]] save (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + your modifier used for attacking) or become deafened for 1 minute.  Save negates the deafening but not the damage.

'''Shattering Note:''' It can replicate the effect of ''[[SRD:Shatter|shatter]]''.  This ends the bell's ringing immediately, but otherwise may be done at will.

In addition, spellcasters gain a +1 CL on any [Sonic] spells while wielding this rod.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Rod|Craft Rod]], ''[[SRD:Create Sound|create sound]]''.<br />
Cost to Create: 3,000 gp, 240 EXP, 6 days.
