- Damage is only to light-sensitive creatures
- The target creature has a chance of resisting the effect
- For rods that shoot bolts, there is a 20% chance of getting a beam, which affects all monsters in the line of action, not just the target
- For rods that shoot balls, the damage given is at the centre of the ball; for each square from the centre, damage is reduced by ???
- All rods weigh 1.5lbs
- Rods can be thrown for 1 point of damage
- Rods can be harmed by lightning
- The Recharging column indicates how many turns the rod takes to recharge; of one than one rod in your character's inventory is recharging, then all recharging will affect only the closest to being fully recharged (i.e. that rod will recharge at double rate, others will not recharge)
