Wondrous Item, artifact (requires attunement)

Item of power. The cloak functions as a Cloak of Displacement, Cloak of Protection, and Cloak of the Bat. When polymorphed, use the bat statistics, but you instead appear to be a specter.

Death's embrace. You can cast Finger of Death from the cloak. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until the next dawn.

Power over death. You gain advantage on all death saves. In addition, you can grant advantage on death saves to any creature within 60 ft that is rolling death saves. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until the next dawn.

Frightening criticals. When you roll a natural 20 on an attack, make an Intimidation check against the target’s Con save. If you succeed, the target is reduced to 0 Hit Points. If they succeed, they instead take an extra 1d6 necrotic damage.

Random Properties. Famine’s Broach has the following random properties:

  • 1 minor beneficial properties
  • 1 major beneficial property
  • 1 major detrimental property

Summon Steed While wearing the cloak, you can use your action to cast summon a skeletal horse, following the effects of the Find Steed spell. Use the stats for Nightmare (MM p. 235), with one addition: The horse radiates an aura of dread. At the start of each of their turns, all creatures within 30 ft, except those you designate, must make a DC 17 Wis save or become frightened. A frightened creature that leaves this area can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
