3e SRD:Rod of Withering
Rod of Withering
The rod of withering acts as a +1 light mace that deals no hit point damage. Instead, the wielder deals 1d4 points of temporary Strength damage and 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage to any creature touched with the rod (by making a melee touch attack). If the wielder scores a critical hit, the damage from that hit is actually permanent ability drain. In either case, the defender negates the effect with a Fortitude save (DC 14).
Caster Level: 13; Prerequisites: Craft Rod, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, contagion; Market Price: 17,000 gp
