The possessor of this rod
is automatically and continually
bestowed with a charisma
of 18 for as long as the item is held
or carried, and whatever
garments the possessor wears (including armor)
will appear to be of the
finest quality and condition, although no
special magical benefit
(such as a change in armor class) is enjoyed.
If the possessor already
has a charisma score of 18 or greater, the rod
does not further enhance
this attribute. When the possessor expends
1 charge, the rod actually
creates and garbs him or her in clothing of
noble sort - the finest
fabrics, plus adornments of furs and jewels.
This apparel is actually
created by the magic of the rod, and remains
permanently in existence
unless the possessor attempts to seleany
part of it, or if any of
the garb is forcibly taken from him or her. In either
of those cases, all of the
apparel immediately disappears. The garments
may be freely given to other
characters or creatures, however,
and will remain whole and
sound afterward. If the possessor is bedecked
in one of these magically
created outfits, the garb cannot be
replaced or added to by
the expenditure of another charge; in such a
case, the charge is simply
wasted. The value of any noble garb created
by the wand will be from
7,000 to 10,000 gp (d4 + 6). The fabric
will be worth 1,000 gp,
furs 5,000 gp, and jewel trim from 1,000 to
4,000 gp, i.e. 10 gems of
100 gp value each, 10 gems of 200 gp value
each or 20 gems of 100 gp
value, and so forth.
The second special power
of the rod, also requiring 1 charge to bring
about, is the creation of
a palatial tent - a huge pavilion of silk encompassing
between 1,500 and 3,000
square feet. Inside the tent will
be temporary furnishings
and foodstuffs suitable to the splendor of
the pavilion and in sufficient
supply to entertain as many as 100 persons.
The tent and its trappings
will last for one day, at the end of
which time the pavilion
may be maintained by expending another
charge; otherwise, the tent
and all objects associated with it (including
any items that were taken
out of the tent) will disappear. This rod
cannot be recharged.
