CRAFT ROD [Item Creation]

You can create magic rods, which have varied magical effects.
Prerequisite: Spellcaster level 9th+.
Benefit: You can create any rod whose prerequisites you meet.  Crafting a rod takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price.  To craft a rod, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of its base price.  See the Dungeon Master’s Guide for descriptions of rods, the prerequisites associated with each one, and their prices.

     Some rods incur extra costs in material components or XP as noted in their descriptions.  These costs are in addition to those derived from the rod’s base price.
