Rod of Resurrection (Greyhawk supplement)

[TheObligatorySQL]

I was going through the magic items in Greyhawk when I discovered an error on the Rod of Resurrection.

Original Text:

Rod of Ressurection: A rod which allows its user to resurrect just as if he were a thoughts to any creatures behind doors or walls within its range. It functions as an ESP Medallion on a roll of 6, as well as when it is tried for the first time.

It seems part of the Medallion of Thought Projection bumped out the latter half of the rod's text.

Medallion of Thought Projection: This item is indistinguishable from an ESP Medallion. It operates in the reverse of the latter, however, projecting the wearer's thoughts to any creatures behind doors or walls within its range. I functions as an ESP Medallion on a roll of 6, as well as when it is tried for the first time.

Anyone know what the original text was?

In the 2013 WOTC reprint it's:
"Rod of Resurrection This rod can be used to resurrect any creature. The rod can be used once per day and must touch the dead creature to bestow it's life-giving effect. Each use of the rod drains 1 charge. The rod has 10 charges and can not be recharged"
Looks like WOTC cleaned up more than implied in the adds. Along with removing all Tolken references and removing Outdoor Survival from recommended equipment.

I would conjecture "as if he were a Patriarch." You'd still have to make your System Shock roll.

Ah, cool. Apparently I just didn't look that far back. Thanks.
