This amber-set amulet is always pleasantly warm to the touch. When worn, it gives the faint impression of a slow, steady heartbeat.
Properties
Comforting Heat.
While wearing the amulet, you are unaffected by the effects of extreme cold (as described in the DMG). The warmth is gentle and emotionally reassuring.
Echoed Recollection.
The amulet carries a psychic imprint of the last creature that held it for at least 1 minute.
As an action, you may focus inward on the amulet, triggering a vivid mental replay of a memory belonging to that creature.
-
The memory is experienced as a third-person flashback, as though you are observing the creature from nearby.
-
The replay lasts up to 1 minute.
-
You can hear sounds from the memory—footsteps, wind, clashing steel, voices—but spoken language is indistinct and unintelligible, as though muffled, distorted, or spoken underwater.
-
The memory includes no readable text, symbols, or internal thoughts.
-
You remain aware of your surroundings and are not incapacitated during the replay.
-
The memory is drawn from a moment of strong emotional significance (chosen by the DM, or by the previous holder if they willingly relinquished the amulet).
Once this property is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Emotional Residue.
While experiencing the replay, you feel a faint echo of the original creature’s emotional state (such as fear, joy, sorrow, or resolve). This sensation fades when the memory ends and has no mechanical effect unless the DM chooses otherwise.
Lasting Imprint.
If the last creature to hold the amulet died while in possession of it, the memory is unusually vivid. The first time you attune to the amulet, the DM may cause the replay to surface involuntarily during a long rest.
