Rod of Parrying (Magic Rod)

This rod +5 can be used as a melee weapon, inflicting 1d8+5 points of damage per hit (but no strength bonus applies). It may also be used to parry attacks, if the user chooses this ability at the beginning of a round. When attacked in melee, the user's armor class gains a +5 bonus while parrying; however, this does not apply to avoiding missile fire. While using the rod of parrying, no other action is possible except a fighting withdrawal maneuver. This rod is usable by any character.
