Properties
-
Aura of Selflessness: While you are attuned to the Altruist's Amulet, allies within 30 feet of you gain the following benefits:
- Healing Light: Whenever an ally regains hit points from a spell or ability, they regain an additional 1d8 hit points.
- Protective Aura: Allies have a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws.
- Courageous Spirit: Allies have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed.
-
Shared Strength: When an ally within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, they can choose to roll an additional d20 and take the higher result. Once this feature is used, it cannot be used again until the start of your next turn.
-
Restorative Pulse: As an action, you can cause the amulet to emit a wave of healing energy. Each ally within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to 3d8 + your Wisdom modifier. Using this ability drains the amulet's power, preventing it from being used again until you finish a long rest.
-
Sacrificial Shield: When an ally within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to transfer the damage to yourself. You take the damage instead of the ally. This ability can be used once per short or long rest.
-
Empathic Bond: You can telepathically communicate with any ally within 30 feet of you, allowing for silent coordination and support.
Drawback
Draining Presence: The amulet draws upon your life force to empower your allies. While attuned to the Altruist's Amulet, you suffer the following effects:
- Reduced Vitality: Your maximum hit points are reduced by 10.
- Weakened Resolve: You have disadvantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed.
- Exhaustive Support: Whenever you use the Restorative Pulse or Sacrificial Shield abilities, you gain one level of exhaustion.
