Rod of Terror bugs

Panic duration is 5 rounds, instead of 4 rounds, as per the description.

The probability of the charisma penalty is off by 1.

Additionally, the charisma penalty is permanent until death, and not completely permanent, though that may be by design. (Not a great design in my opinion, but I digress)

It's not such a well designed or desirable item anyway, even without the drawback, but timing mode 1 in terms of base stat modifications (like CHR) specifically acts as time mode 9 would for most other effects iirc.

Timing mode 1 modifies the base stat directly which prevents any kind of restoration and isn't shown as a "red" number on the character record screen.

I mentioned it because it simply states "permanent" without qualifiers... The familiar spell mentions this too... (in uppercase, for dramatic effect). But that's too debatable for a fixpack I guess.
