Added 2021-06-03 18:13:36 +0000 UTCRod of the Scarab Lord
Rod, very rare (requires attunement by a bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard)
This staff has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, it spawns a large scarab that consumes and destroys the staff, then explodes.
Spells. While holding the staff, you can use an action to expend some of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: giant insect (3 charges), insect plague (4 charges), or move earth (10 charges).
Scarab Armor. While holding the staff, you can use an action and expend 3 charges to summon chitinous, scarab-like plates that appear over your body, raising your AC by 2. The plates last for 1 hour or until you take 30 points of slashing, bludgeoning, or piercing damage.
-
This staff of solid gold is adorned with a bejeweled scarab finial. Despite the material it is made of, the staff is much lighter in weight than one would expect. This ancient staff was once wielded by the fearsome necromantic sorcerer Gahiji, who ruled an empire that spanned the entirety of the Muhar desert. The staff struck such fear in Gahiji’s subjects that he gained the alternate title of “Scarab Lord.”
