[Mythical Arsenal] Lernaean Pendant (Patreon)

Lernaean Pendant

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

Component: monstrosity (hydra) liver

Although the serpentine heads adorning this necklace are capable of movement, they prefer to remain unsettlingly still, only occasionally blinking their gemstone eyes. The only exception occurs if an open flame is brought close to the pendant, which causes the hydra heads to hiss angrily and recoil from the flames.

This pendant has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Better Than One. While you are wearing this pendant and make a saving throw against an effect that would cause you to become blinded, charmed, deafened, or frightened, you can spend 1 charge as a reaction to grow a second head. Each of your heads makes a separate saving throw against the condition, after which you choose one of them to shrivel and fall off, taking the result of the saving throw for the head that remains.

Curse. This item is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic. While cursed in this way, when you take fire damage, you can’t regain hit points or use the Better Than One property until the end of your next turn.

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

Rare variant: Increase the charges to 5 and the recharge to 1d4 + 1. When you use the Better Than One property, you also regain 1d6 hit points.

Very rare variant: Increase the charges to 5 and the recharge to 1d4 + 1. When you use the Better Than One property, you also regain 3d6 hit points.
