Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)


This smooth, copper device looks a bit like a mechanical heart. Glowing red solution moves through its internal chambers and valves in perfect sequence. As part of attuning to the heart, you must hold it against your chest for the duration. Once you're attuned to it, it magically vanishes within your chest and begins to beat alongside your normal heart.

While inside your body, the heart grants you the following benefits:

  • You can move an additional 10 feet whenever you take the Dash action.
  • You have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to resist poison and to endure a forced march.
  • You have resistance to poison damage.
  • Whenever you roll a Hit Die to regain hit points, you double the number of hit points it restores.
  • You stabilize whenever you are dying at the start of your turn.
  • You reduce your exhaustion level by two whenever you finish a long rest, instead of one.

If your attunement to the heart ends, it magically appears in your open hand or in the nearest unoccupied space.


My heart used to beat for battle. To beat for thrills. Not these days, though: not since it was broken.

I'll always remember that first quickened pulse, the one I had when I met my better half. I'll always remember the last one it had, too, when she and I were thrown from the explosion....

Now, I have a new heart: one that beats for the life of our daughter. For the lives of my friends. It beats for a slower life, the kind you savor. You don't always get a second chance, and I'm not willing to let this one go unlived.
