Ah, the Rod of Wonder. The \u201cmagic item that creates unpredictable effects\u201d been around in some form or another at least since AD&D\u2019s Wand of Wonder. The current Pathfinder version is a 12,000gp, CL 10 doozy that can do just about everything from growing grass to shooting lightning. But the best part, and the key to the Rod\u2019s appeal, is that nobody gets to pick just which of that \u201ceverything\u201d will happen. Not the player, not the GM; it\u2019s all down to the dice. Grab your nearest d%, roll, and compare to this chart (as seen in the Pathfinder core book) to see just how useful this thing would have been in your last encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Well, how useful was it? If your experience was anything like my level 3 barbarian\u2019s (don\u2019t ask) the answer was \u201cnot at all, but almost very; I should try again; oh no, the rhino is on fire now.\u201d In fact, that\u2019s almost always the answer. And that\u2019s why, despite the cost and the potentially encounter-breaking effects, I encourage giving adventuring groups a Rod of Wonder as early as possible. Around 3rd or 4th level seems to be a sweet spot, where the good effects are powerful enough to tempt repeated uses, but the PCs are capable of handling the occasional flaming rhino.<\/p>\n

Despite the Rod of Wonder\u2019s questionable usefulness to PCs, it\u2019s an invaluable tool for DMs. The number one goal of any gaming group is to have fun, right? The Rod lacks the terrible inherent risks of, say, a Deck of Many Things, but any time one is used, something<\/i> memorable is going to happen. Grossly outnumbered and backed into a corner, the Wonder-wielder blasts the approaching undead horde with fireball<\/i>, saving the day. Or maybe the wielder turns themselves permanently purple. Either way, it\u2019s the kind of encounter that gets talked about for years. It makes planning easier, too. A dungeon that\u2019s nothing more than a sequence of square, monster-filled rooms will still be varied and exciting when a Rod of Wonder is filling those rooms with butterflies and stinking cloud<\/i>s<\/em>, or casting flesh to stone<\/i> on the walls. And if a permanent Rod is wrong for your players for whatever reason, it can still liven up a session or two in the hands of an NPC. Bonus points if that NPC is too useful (fills a party skill gap), too important (will net them a nice reward once safely escorted home), or just too plain likable to be gotten rid of.<\/p>\n

The Rod\u2019s ability to add a new flavor of unpredictable excitement to a game is even something that can be adapted to systems and settings outside of Pathfinder and DnD. All it takes is some reskinning to fit the fluff\u2014a malfunctioning alien device in a sci-fi setting, a properly<\/i> functioning mad scientist\u2019s invention for superheroes to deal with, or an ancient artifact wreaking havoc in a modern urban-fantasy metropolis. The various effects might have to be portrayed differently depending on the rule set, but it\u2019s easy enough to match, say, lightning bolt<\/i> to a high-powered rifle or fireball<\/i> to a grenade. Environment-altering effects would only need to impose appropriate penalties or advantages (obscured vision or wet floors, for example), and many other possible results can be handled in a completely narrative fashion: size- and color-changing, leaves sprouting from characters, etc. Of course, any effect that could cause excessive difficulties for the rule set or setting can be replaced with something more appropriate.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s used in its home systems of Pathfinder and DnD or in some other system via homebrewing, the Rod of Wonder is a great item because it captures the essence of tabletop RPGs. It embodies everything we love about our games: unexpected twists, the thrill of chance, and humor, all without\u00a0too<\/em> much risk. It\u2019s useful for DMs while being fun for people on both sides of the screen. Try one out in your next game and watch the shenanigans unfold. And if you\u2019re afraid of your players getting a little too out of hand, well, nothing says you can\u2019t add a 1% chance of catastrophic self-destruction to the table of potential wonders.
