there described as sceptres but I was thinking, scriptures are pretty similar to clubs/maces. can you use a rod as a weapon or would it need to be a special rod that can be used as a weapon. would it be an improvised weapon.
I just think it be cool to use a rod for its magical properties and as a club.

Staff Magus is eventually good at this:
Staff Weapon (Su): At 10th level, a staff magus treats any magical staff he is wielding as a magical quarterstaff with an enhancement bonus to attack and damage equal to the staff’s caster level divided by 4 (minimum +1). The staff must have at least 1 charge for the magus to use this ability. A staff magus can restore 1 charge to a staff by expending a number of points from his arcane pool equal to the level of the highest-level spell cast in the staff, as long as at least one spell in the staff is on the magus spell list. The magus cannot restore charges to more than one staff per day. This ability replaces fighter training.

Is a Rod a Staff?

That may be a bit Acrobat stylee from the 80's D&D cartoon though...
Actually, you want one of ***These***

I know a few feminists who would say "Absolutley!" followed by "And those things should be outlawed and removed at birth!!!".
Nobody really listens to them. I hope.
Oh, wait, that's not a euphemism?
In that case:
Physical Description: Rods weigh approximately 5 pounds. They range from 2 feet to 3 feet long and are usually made of iron or some other metal. (Many, as noted in their descriptions, can function as light maces or clubs because of their hardy construction.)
So check the description of the rod; if it's noted that it can be used as a weapon then it certainly can be, and if not, well, they're still "sturdy items made of iron or other metals that have AC 9, 10 hit points, hardness 10, and a break DC of 27" which still sounds like a weapon to me, but that's for you and your GM to decide if it's a mace, a club, an improvised weapon, or something else entirely.

do you mind not using my thread about pathfinder rulings to rag on feminists.

Excellent word choice. They would definitely not approve, but I totally love your sense of humor! LOL. Well played!

okay guys, thanks. I was looking at the Rod of Balance and figured it be awesome if it could be used as a weapon. when activated it could be a quarterstaff, or when unactivated be a club. basically I figured it could be a cool weapon for a robin/nightwing like character lol.
I can't find a way to accomplish this with a rod. A quarterstaff with the shrinking property might work for your nightwing-ish character, though. In shrunken form I would imagine it would look like a small baton.
