The Amulet of Nyarlathotep is an enigma. It was crafted by Undu Mafeli, the mad witch doctor of the Umagili tribe far in the east of the Great Valley, but where its power comes from no one knows. Clearly it does not come from Nyarlathotep, who by the standards of people in our dimension is utterly insane. But Nyarlathotep, disturber of death, is the patron of Necromancers, grave robbers and those who disturb corpses.
The Amulet calls to those who profess to be holy and they must pass a WIS15 check or desire the amulet above all things and any prior commitments.
The Amulet has three charges per day:
1) Raise undead. Using 1 charge raises 5CP of undead. Using 2 charges raises 15CP of undead. Using all three charges raises 35CP of undead. These undead are summoned from a portal that is created.
2) Raise Colleague. Using all three charges allows the user to raise dead on any colleague.
3) Death burst. Using 1 charge allows the user to cause 1d8 necrotic damage to targets within a 20' sphere. If they pass a WIS12 check they take half damage.
Once the charges are used the Amulet disappears but may (1-7 on a d8) come back the next moonrise.
Notes: Immunity: Necrotic, Vulnerability: Radiant, Chokes the wearer and requires a mind grapple (comparing check for CHA15 vs. a Charisma or Wisdom Check (player's choice.)) The wearer becomes Chaotic Evil.
