[Vacation Content 3/7] Loot Tavern: Rotwing Helm (Patreon)

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement) Component: Celestial hair

Valkyries take solemn oaths to combat the spread of the Rot God’s influence at any cost. The first true test of their devotion comes when they invite the Scarlet Plague into their own bodies, harnessing its incredible power to wield against its source.

While wearing this helmet, you have resistance to necrotic damage. The helmet has 3 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn.

Aeonian Wings. As an action while wearing the helmet, you can expend 1 charge to cause wings of rot to erupt from your back. For 1 minute, you have a flying speed of 30 feet.

Rot Rebirth. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. When this happens, you can use your reaction to activate the helmet’s Aeonian Wings property without expending any charges and immediately move up to half of your speed without provoking opportunity attacks. Once this property of the helmet has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

---------------------------------------

Rare variant: The helmet doesn’t grant resistance to necrotic damage.

Legendary variant: You gain a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this helmet. When you use your reaction as part of the Rot Rebirth property, you also gain 3d10 temporary hit points.
