This iron-shod rod is crowned with five dragon heads—one each of black, blue, green, red, and white. The heads all face outward, their jaws parted as if to breathe.

When you wield a chromatic rod, it functions as a +1 morningstar with the corrosive, frost, flaming, or shock property if you are chaotic evil, neutral evil, or chaotic neutral. You can select or change the property by speaking the command word, but it can have no more than one such property at a time.

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, you can also use the chromatic rod’s spell-like abilities, as given on the table below. Each is usable once per day.

Spell Slot Level/HD	Spell-Like Abilities Gained
5th/9	Wall of ice (300-ft. range, covering up to twenty 10-foot squares)
	Insect plague (1,200-ft. range, creating six adjacent swarms)
7th/13	Dominate person (75-ft. range, Will DC 20 negates)
	Find the path (duration 200 minutes) Veil (Will DC 21)

To use these spell-like abilities, you must worship Tiamat and either sacrifice a divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and a certain number of Hit Dice.
The spell slot level and Hit Dice required are given for each entry in the table.

Lore: The first chromatic rod was forged in hellfi re by the five consorts of Tiamat as a gift for their queen (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).
