Rod, common

A lightning rod features a spiraling pair of a green-blue stem and a yellow-green stem. In place of an attack you would otherwise be able to make, you can do one of the following:

Melee Weapon Attack. You swing the rod, which on a hit deals nonmagical slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, plus 1 magical lightning damage.

Ranged Spell Attack (costs 1 mp). You swing the rod, and a mote of lightning leaps from the tip up to a range of 60 feet, which on a hit deals 3d6 lightning damage. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal, or is soaked in water. You use your spellcasting modifier for the attack and damage rolls of this attack. If you do not have a spellcasting feature, you use your Intelligence instead. You can only make one ranged spell attack with this rod per turn.
