This 4-foot-long rod of black metal bears the impression of a single cat’s paw at one rounded end.
While holding this rod, you gain a +4 bonus on saving throws against effects that have the sonic descriptor or that deal sonic damage.
Once per day, you can surround yourself with a field of silence, which functions as a silence spell except it affects only you and can be dismissed as a free (mental) action on your turn.
The rod can also create a shout effect once per day, although this ability cannot be used while the silence effect is in operation.
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, shout, silence, resistance.
Cost to Create: 2,000 gp, 160 XP, 4 days.
