This golden rod is covered in embossed images of dragons. The top is five dragon scales of various colors, forming a shape not unlike a flower bulb.
Said to be the ruling staff of a monarch who, in spite of being human, rose to power and ruled over dragonkind and the populace with threat of claw and fire, the rod (or at least faithful replications) has slipped into the world in the most hidden corners of the land. The rod of the first dragon queen acts as a masterwork heavy mace that will only function for those who can speak Draconic and with dragonblood. The rod comes with 5 charges which are renewed each day. Activating the rod forms illusory spectral dragons which create the rod's effects. It grants the user the following abilities:
- Breath of the Dragon (Su): You can deal 1d6 damage/level of one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, or fire) in either a 60 ft line, 30 ft cone, or 20 ft radius explosion out to Long range (400 ft + 40 ft/level) with a Reflex save for half damage. Each use consumes 1 charge. Alternatively you can use 3 charges to make the line 15 ft wide and 180 ft line, the cone out to 90 ft, or the explosion duplicate the area effect of rain of fireballs. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 HD + Cha modifier.
- Call of the Dragon (Su): As a 1 round action you summon a phantasmal dragon not unlike a phantom steed spell, but as any non-unique Dragon type creature of a CR of 1/2 your HD. It uses the dragon's movement and statistics instead of phantom steed's scaling but like the spell, but cannot attack in any way. This costs 1 charge, and it lasts for 1 hour/level. Alternatively you can use 3 charges to summon a dragon who can attack, but the duration decreases to 1 round/level.
- Metablood Quickening (Su): You can use one or more charges from the rod to substitute for the increase of spell level on a spell you cast. The rod grants you Energy Substitution for the cost of 1 charge, even if you do not have the Energy Substitution feat.
Those that wield the rod command fear and respect from creatures of the Dragon type, granting a +4 enhancement bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate against them. This is a passive effect that works regardless of the number of charges left.
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, command, cone of cold, fireball, lightning bolt, summon monster VI.
Cost to Create: 8,000 gp, 640 EXP, 16 days.
