 In all variants that include it, the Rod is generated as a [[mace]].

 In dNetHack, [[invoke|invoking]] the Rod of Lordly Might allows the player to choose one of several invocation effects:
-Using the "Become Ladder" command while [[engulf]]ed will reduce the engulfing monster's HP to 1, with a few exceptions. If the monster is [[Juiblex]], [[User:Chris/dNetHack/dNethack_Devil_Lords#Leviathan|Leviathan]], or a rare [[Metroid#metroid queen|metroid queen]], its health will only be reduced by 25%.
+* '''At will''': The Rod can be ordered to assume a different form as often as desired.
