Amulet Of Helm

Description

This silver-inlaid amulet bears the symbol of Helm, god of guardians and watchers. It pulses with a silent weight when worn, drawing on the bearer’s fortitude to shield them from harm. However, the protection it offers comes at a hidden cost.

Properties

• While wearing this amulet, you gain a damage buffer equal to 3 × your Constitution modifier.
• This buffer absorbs incoming damage until it is fully used or the amulet is removed.
• If the amulet is removed or destroyed, the wearer must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw.
• On a failed save, all damage previously absorbed by the amulet is immediately dealt to the wearer as force damage.
• An Arcana check of DC 15 or higher reveals that the amulet is cursed and channels energy unnaturally.

Discovery

Artifacts like the Amulet of Helm are occasionally uncovered in ruined temples or shrines devoted to divine protection. While its symbol implies benevolence, the lingering curse suggests its origin was twisted by mortal tampering or divine retribution.
