Staff of Striking

Very Rare

**Staff, very rare (requires attunement)** This staff is made of a single piece of unmelting, dark-green ice. While its exact form can’t be discerned, a dark shape running the length of the staff writhes within. This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. The staff has 10 charges. When you hit with a melee attack using it, you can expend up to 3 of its charges. For each charge you expend, the target takes an extra 1d6 force damage. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1 the staff becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff.

Sanctum Amulet

Very Rare

**Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)** *A black opal pendant hangs at the base of this pearlescent chain. The sacred rune is inscribed on the back of the pendant.* While wearing this item, you have resistance to necrotic damage. Additionally, you can cast the spare the dying cantrip using either an action or a bonus action. **Invoking the Rune.** When a creature you can see within 60 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points as a result of taking damage, you can use your reaction to invoke the item’s rune, causing the pendant to flash with pale light. The creature then instead drops to 1 hit point. Once the rune has been invoked, it can’t be invoked again until the next dawn.
