Rod of Many Tools
Rod, uncommon (+1), rare (+2), very rare (+3)
This ten-inch rod’s handle is encased in a seasoned wood and capped with a thick nob of brass-coloured metal on either end. The rod always feels heavier than you think. When it takes the form of a tool the metal on either end reshapes to make up the necessary components required of the tool.
This rod is able to take the shape of a variety of tools. As an action, you can touch the item and transform it into any type of artisan’s tool of your choice, or any one-handed or two handed simple or complex tool. Resetting the rod is a free action, transforming the rod still takes an action. The Rod of Many Tools reshapes and expands the metal knobs on each end to the shape of the tool, the rod’s magic allows flexible components and moving parts. When used by a character as part of a relevant skill or profficiency roll the Rod of Many Tools gives a bonus equal to the bonus of the rod, this bonus is determined by the rod’s rarity.
If used as a weapon the Rod is treated as a Slashing(Axe or Blade), Piercing(Pick or Needle), or Bludgeoning(Hammer) weapon upon transformation to a practical form. A one handed weapon does 1d6 of the relevant damage, a two handed weapon does 1d8 damage. The weapon does benefit from the item’s bonus and is treated as a magical weapon.
