Default Lightning rods do not attract lightning
They do not increase or decrease your chances of being hit. They provide a safe path for the lightning to go to ground. Look around the villages. The Waterfront Inn has an lps, as do many of the village owned buildings. I guess that improperly installed rods could result in a house being damaged. If you go with a company that has the system certified by UL, it provides great protection. I just had our house done and I'm glad I did.
