Magic Items

Wondrous item, common

This stylish, gold-painted pole has a fabric wrap around the grip for comfort during use. Its wood stays rigid until transformed into a fishing pole, when it gains the suppleness of a masterwork fishing rod. Even while it isn’t in fishing pole form, the pole’s bearer feels phantom tugs on the end of it.

While holding this 10-foot pole, you can speak a command word and transform it into a fishing pole with a hook, a line, and a reel. Speaking the command word again changes the fishing pole back into a normal 10-foot pole.

The pole glows faintly when within 120 feet of knucklehead trout—making an observant fisher a somewhat wealthier fisher.

Courage in the Face of Fear. You displayed tremendous courage while retrieving the Tenet of Fear from its hiding place deep within the wilds of Thar. Malana Homwell has noted your bravery and is impressed by your actions.
