Amulet of Inescapable Location

Amulet of Inescapable Location
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)
Aura: Minor Divination

This device is typically worn on a chain or as a brooch. While wearing it, you are protected from divination magic and magical scrying as though under the effects of a Nondetection spell.

Curse. The amulet does not actually protect the wearer from divination magic and magical scrying. Instead, any such attempts are made as though the caster were familiar with the target and had a lock of hair available, and you have disadvantage on saving throws to prevent such effects.

Amulet of Hunting

Amulet of Hunting
Wondrous Item, Common
Aura: Faint Divination

Whenever you make an ability check related to hunting or foraging for food in the wilderness, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to that ability check.

Curse. Some of these amulets are cursed. If you have a cursed version of an Amulet of Hunting, when you roll a d4, the number is subtracted from your ability check rather than added to it.

Amulet of Holy Turning

Amulet of Holy Turning
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement)
Aura: Moderate Evocation

Shaped like the blessed symbol of a deity, it bestows a sliver of divine power unto the wearer, granting them some of the power of a divine cleric. Whenever there is an undead within 120 feet of the amulet it begins to glow, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.

Turn Undead. As an action, you can present this amulet and unleash its power. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until the next dawn.

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.

Hardwater Amulet

Hardwater Amulet
Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)
Aura: Moderate Transmutation

This starburst amulet made of clear crystal, when activated, can harden the surface of liquid surfaces. While you wear it, you can move across any such surfaces- such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava- as if it were harmless solid ground (crossing molten lava can still cause damage from the heat). If you are submerged in a liquid, you are carried to the surface at the rate of 60 feet per round.  You can deactivate or reactivate this effect at any time as a bonus action.

Hardwater Bolt. While wearing the amulet, you can launch bolts of hardened liquid as projectiles so long as a source of liquid of at least 1 gallon  is within 10 feet of you. These bolts count as simple ranged weapons with which you are proficient (range 60/180) and deal 2d8 bludgeoning damage on a hit.
