Rod of the Faceless Lord
This slender iron rod continuously drips acidic ooze down its length from its qwartz tip. The acid deals 1d6 damage per round to anyone who grasps the rod with bare hands; only a metal gauntlet will prevent damage. The rod can be treated as a +1 club that deals 1d6 additional acid damage on a successful hit.
If the wielder of the Rod of the Faceless Lord is an evil cleric, they may attempt to rebuke/command oozes instead of undead. The HD of any oozes thus commanded count as three times the HD amount of undead they may command at any time. (Example: An evil cleric can command up to 24 HD of undead. They may thus command two 4-HD gelatinous cubes, or one cube and twelve 1-HD skeletons.)
Moderate enchantment (evil); CL ??; Craft Rod, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, creator must be a cultist of Juiblex; ????? gp; 3 lbs.
How much should this offset a group's treasure haul? I'm absolutely certain the PCs won't sell it, and they're certainly not going to be able to buy one or have one made. (This is an evil campaign, so it's more than likely that someone in the party will try to use it more than once.)
