Rod, uncommon
This iron rod has a button on one end. You can take a Utilize action to press the button, which causes the rod to become magically fixed in place. Until you or another creature takes a Utilize action to push the button again, the rod doesn’t move, even if it defies gravity. The rod can hold up to 8,000 pounds of weight. More weight causes the rod to deactivate and fall. A creature can take a Utilize action to make a DC 30 Strength (Athletics) check, moving the fixed rod up to 10 feet on a successful check.
I'm surprised this isn't a higher rarity, given it's amazing versatility, in the hands of some crafty PC's...
My DM just had it zip away into the cosmos. "It's fixed in place. the world is hurling through the universe. That rod is never being seen again"
Your DM stole your rod
the item is locked in place relative to the planet or plane your on
I went to a bazaar, asked if there was one, he said roll for it, hit the nat 20, and then described it. He has a personal vendetta against the rods so it was more a funny moment out of spite than anything.
Get Ascendant Step as a Warlock -- Levitate at will -- and use this to move through the air.
If you're a DM, you should absolutely give this to your players. I guarantee it'll lead to tons of fun at your table.
What happens if you fix it in place against the wall of a vehicle? Does it move with the vehicle or cause… consequences?
