04-16-05, 04:27 PM It was an item from the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons DMG, basically it stopped you dying when you reached minus hit points, in principle similar to a lich's phylatery you're soul would be contained within until you could be restored back to your physical body. Don't ask me for specific rules game effects as I don't remember the rulings for it and don't have DnD 2nd edition DMG anymore. But I would be happy if anyone has information as to weather it's been updated for 3rd because I have a charecter with one, who I would like to update to 3.5.

04-16-05, 04:35 PM I don't know anything about AD&D, but in the 3.5v DMG there's a Periapt of Wound Closure that automatically stabolizes you if you HP drops to -1 to -9. Also, I read about a particular spell that allowed your soul to take up residence in an item or some such if you die, but I don't know if that's the same thing. If I remember correctly, the spell is around 9th level.

AD&D Encyclopedia Magica Vol 1 page 36
Xp Value 5000
Gp Value 20000
DMG 1st Edition
This amulet serves as protection for the psyche. The wearer is protected from magic jar and similar mental attacks that usurp control of the wearer's body. If the wearer is slain, the psyche enters the amulet and is protected for a full seven days. After that, it departs to the plane of its alignment. If the amulet is destroyed during the seven days, the psyche is utterly and irrevocably annihilated.
