FAQs

Do you have to hold Rod of the Pact Keeper? ›

Yes, the magic item specifically states you need to be holding the rod to benefit from the bonus to your spell attack rolls and saving throws, as well as to regain a warlock spell slot as an action.

While holding this rod, you gain a +2 bonus to Spell Attack Rolls and Saving Throw DCs of your warlock spells.

What Is The Rod Of The Pact Keeper? The rod is a magic item of varying rarity with an uncommon, rare, and very rare form. It requires attunement and supplies an increase to your spellcasting save DC (Difficulty Class) and spell attack rolls, depending on its rarity.

Yes. The Rod of the Pact keeper is a rod, which is listed as a kind of arcane focus. If it could not be used as one, then by that same logic, a magical sword would not be able to be used as a sword.

Your Hexblade Patron weapon is not your pact weapon.

Actually, they do stack, but only under certain circumstances. There must be a material and somatic component to the spell, and the spell's component MUST be something that an arcane focus can replace.

The two seasons of The Pact don't bear any relation to each other, aside from being set in Wales. In the first episode, questions whirled around Connor (Jordan Wilks) who claims to be Megan (Mali Ann Rees) and Jamie's (Aaron Anthony) long-lost brother.

While holding this rod, you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your warlock spells. This bonus is determined by the rod's rarity. In addition, you can regain one warlock spell slot as an action while holding the rod. You can't use this property again until you finish a long rest.

The identity of the killer was fully revealed towards the beginning of the final episode, having been strongly hinted at at the end of the penultimate instalment. It turns out that it was Anna's daughter Tamsin who was responsible, although naturally it wasn't quite as simple as cold-blooded murder.

A rod is only 2-3 feet, and a staff can be up to 4-9 feet tall. Anything, like the Rod of the Pact Keeper, that is named as a rod, will actually be shorter than your standard staff (only 2-3 feet in length), and therefore should not be counted as a quarterstaff.

Can the rod of the pact keeper be used as a weapon? ›

The Rod is an arcane focus, not a weapon. It could be used as an improvised weapon, but it is still not a weapon.

The Black Sword was a unique intelligent bastard sword from the ancient Imaskari Empire, crafted to aid in the overthrowing of an emperor during its height. It possessed the special purpose of overthrowing tyrants. Made of obsidian, the sword had been used to commit dozens of regicides since its creation.

There's much more that's possible and feasible that can be done, but point is if we're talking raw power, chain is better. if we're talking table health and balance, i think tome is better. For me, Pact of the Tome is about making your Warlock more of a support caster with a versatile set of tricks to play with.

Re: +2 From the Rod of the Pact Keeper & Staff of Power stack? Yes. You get +4 to spell attack rolls with Warlock spells, and +2 to the Save DC of your warlock spells as well. The RoTPK bonus only applies to Warlock spells, and the staff doesnt add to save DC's.

It depends on what you want to do with it. For combat, Pact of the Chain is by far the worst option. Hands down, no if's, and's, or but's. Then again, Pact of the Blade is the worst to have for anything that doesn't involve combat.

While holding this rod, you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your warlock spells. This bonus is determined by the rod's rarity. In addition, you can regain one warlock spell slot as an action while holding the rod. You can't use this property again until you finish a long rest.

All weapons created by the pact of the blade feature are magical, as per the text: Pact of the Blade. You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand.
