This rod is made of solid gold and has a relatively simple design. The emeralds running along its length give it a subtle beauty that matches its obviously valuable components.
Upon activating a rod of avoidance, the wielder gains a +20 deflection bonus to Armor Class that lasts until the beginning of his next action. The rod is usable three times per day.
