Righteous Rod of Runes
The Righteous Rod of Runes is commonly carried by Dwarvish Priests - who are pretty well-grounded little pests to start with.
Abilities
While holding the Righteous Rod of Runes you and anyone within a medium-sized radius are immune to lightning effects.
The Lighting Damage Aura is a unique ability that cannot be cast. It creates a large radius within which all targets take frequent pulses of moderate lightning damage. Note that creatures within the protective inner radius will NOT be affected by the damage aura.
Best Use
This staff is best used for the continuous protection it affords from high damage lightning effects.
NOTE: Does this staff provide full immunity from Thunderstorm strikes? Please confirm!
Pros and Cons
+ Protects against lightning, which is a common component in the most damaging spells.
+ With careful maneuvering (and rain) the damage aura is a fairly good area damage effect.
- The damage aura won't affect opponents who get too close, so careful use is necessary for full effect.
