Rod of Lordly Might

This rod has a flanged head, and it functions as a magic Mace that grants a +3 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with it.

The rod has properties associated with six different buttons that are set in a row along the haft.

It has three other properties as well, detailed below. **Button 1.** A fiery blade sprouts from the end opposite the rod's flanged head.

The flames shed Bright Light in a 40-foot radius and Dim Light for an additional 40 feet, and the blade functions as a magic Longsword or Shortsword (your choice) that deals an extra 2d6 Fire damage on a hit. **Button 2.** The rod's flanged head folds down and two crescent-shaped blades spring out, transforming the rod into a magic Battleaxe that grants a +3 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with it. **Button 3.** The rod's flanged head folds down, a spear point springs from the rod's tip, and the rod's handle lengthens into a 6-foot haft, transforming the rod into a magic Spear that grants a +3 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with it. **Button 4.** The rod transforms into a climbing pole up to 50 feet long (you specify the length), though the rod's buttons remain within your reach.

In surfaces as hard as granite, a spike at the bottom and three hooks at the top anchor the pole.

Horizontal bars 3 inches long fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, forming a ladder.

The pole can bear up to 4,000 pounds.

More weight or lack of solid anchoring causes the rod to revert to its normal form. **Button 5.** The rod transforms into a handheld battering ram and grants its user a +10 bonus to Strength (Athletics) checks made to break through doors, barricades, and other barriers. **Button 6.** The rod assumes or remains in its normal form and indicates magnetic north.

(Nothing happens if this function of the rod is used in a location that has no magnetic north.) The rod also gives you knowledge of your approximate depth beneath the ground or your height above it.
