Whisper's Lesser Rod of Transportation (Magic Rod)

This rod, devised by the wizard Whisper, allows the bearer to change location (initiative modifier of +2). The lesser rods may blink (drains one charge), dimension door (drains two charges), or teleport (drains three charges). Each of these functions may used twice a day. Five percent of these are greater rods and can also plane shift (drains five charges), but the destination is unknown, nor is it under the control of, the rod's employer. The rod powers may affect not only the bearer but other creatures and objects in direct physical contact with the bearer, up to a limit of 666 pounds in weight. The rod may be deliberately “boosted” to affect 777 pounds in weight by the bearer, but this drains one additional charge, and drains a magical item (at random) within 20 feet. If no such item is present, the boost does not work, and someone or something is left behind (determine at random). If a large group of people blink, they must hold firmly together or scatter.
The rod cannot transport objects that are firmly anchored (walls, most altars, and bridges for example), and if the rod ever lacks enough charges to fulfill the desired function, a lesser function for which charges remain operates instead.
