Rod, common

This rod features a spiraling pair of blue and yellow stems that combine to hold a yellow, spherical gemstone at the tip. While holding this rod, you can use it to perform either of the following attacks:

• Melee Weapon Attack. You swing the rod, making an attack roll (using your Strength modifier) against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage plus 1 lightning damage.

• Ranged Spell Attack (costs 1 mp). You loosen from the rod a mote of flame and make an attack roll against a creature or object within 60 feet. You have advantage on this attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal, or is soaked in water. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 lightning damage. You can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the attack roll of this attack. If you do not have a spellcasting feature, you add your Intelligence modifier instead.
