So if you get part 3 then part one is good again?

I am sorta curious how Jeff will work the rods. Will they be a trade-in for a token with the complete rod? Will the abilities of the seven individual parts be worth sacrificing for the whole? It's got to be more than simply the sum of the parts you would think but I can't see there being enough space on the trade-in token to print all the effects unless they end up all being +1 HP or something.

Are you sure? From what I remember of the rod, it had no negative effects but if you used its major powers it had a chance of breaking apart.

To the best of my memory, some of the combinations of segments of the rod traditionally had ill effects.

Not to mention that bringing the segments together in the first place is very difficult since they act like magnets of the same pole and repulse each other.  The rod also causes the user's alignment to shift towards lawful neutral with every segment owned, which can be quite negative for some classes (like paladins, who can become fallen if their alignment shifts away from lawful good.)

I was just reading up on this on Wizards community (google rod of seven parts and it will show up). It had been a while since I looked at it. I forgot all the bad things associated with it.

<br /><br />It could be like the Dragonscale Set.  Nowhere on the tokens does it say that having all three of them gets you -10 to Fire Damage, that's covered in the Token Guide.  So - maybe there will be some special effect from having all seven parts, but it won't be printed on the tokens but in the Player's or Token guide?

I am kind of hoping for a negative effect as well. I always liked the good with the bad.
