Amulet of the Hero

Amulet of the Hero
Wondrous Item, Very Rare (requires attunement)
Aura: Strong Conjuration 

This amulet has three charges. While wearing the amulet, you can use an action to call forth a hero, which appears in an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of you. The hero lasts for 1 hour and will fight for you for that duration. The hero uses the statistics of a gladiator (the GM has the creature's statistics) and acts immediately after you in initiative. The hero is friendly to you and your companions and obeys and verbal commands that you issue to it. If you don’t issue any commands to it, the hero defends itself from hostile creatures, but otherwise takes no actions.

When the hour ends, or if the hero falls to 0 hit points, or ends its turn more than 300 feet away from you, the hero disappears. If you use the amulet to summon a second hero, your current hero disappears.

The amulet regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the amulet crumbles to dust and is destroyed.
