''This "rod" has a sharpened claw hand at the tip with a lamprey-like mouth.  After you finish this opponent you will learn so much about them.''

This rod can be wielded as a ''masterwork [[SRD:Light Mace|light mace]]'' that deals bludgeoning or piercing damage.  As a weapon, it is underwhelming.  It's real strength comes post-mortem, or at least once the opponent is unconscious and unable to resist.

'''Gentle Repose:''' Once per day the rod can be used to duplicate the effect of ''[[SRD:Gentle Repose|gentle repose]]'' on any corpse on touch.  ''Gentle repose'' is applied if the wielder dies automatically, even if no charges remain.

'''Organ Extraction:''' Over the course of 1 round the rod can be pressed into a corpse and drilled into, supernaturally extracting an organ with minimal damage and storing it within the rod's extradimensional storage.  It can store up to five organs of any size within, and organs are held in stasis as per ''gentle repose''.  Ejecting an organ is a standard action.

'''Sterilizing Wave:''' 2/day, the rod can be used to cast ''[[Sterilize (3.5e Spell)|sterilize]]''.  It also can automatically sterilize and clean itself at will.

'''Study Biology:''' If you have a creature's organ in storage, or if pressed against a willing, unconscious, or recently dead creature in a state fresh enough to become a zombie, you can analyze the biology of the creature in question.  Make an appropriate Knowledge check as a standard action (even if you have no ranks) with a +5 competence bonus to determine details about the creature in question.  If used while making Heal checks you also gain a +5 competence bonus to your Heal checks as the rod informs you of various useful biological facts and data.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Rod|Craft Rod]], ''[[SRD:Gentle Repose|gentle repose]]'', ''[[Sterilize (3.5e Spell)|sterilize]]''.<br />
Cost to Create: 5,000 gp, 400 EXP, 10 days.
