Amulet of Undersea Friendship

Amulet of Undersea Friendship
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)
Aura: Minor Enchantment

This medallion was created to foster diplomatic negotiations between underwater races. While you wear this amulet, you have advantage on all Charisma checks directed at creatures that are naturally able to breathe underwater. This amulet has no effect on creatures that have been given the ability to breathe water from a spell or other magical effect.

Curse. The curse in this amulet only affects creatures that wear the amulet who are not naturally able to breathe water. So long as they wear the amulet, they see all other creatures as fish-headed humanoids and are driven into a mindless rage, attacking the nearest creature they can see.

Amulet of Two Fingers

Amulet of Two Fingers
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)
Aura: Minor Transmutation

These amulets, normally made of obsidian or hematite, represent the two fingers of Horus, the god of the sky. As an action, you can command the amulet to transform into a ladder, which extends 100 feet in a direction you choose. The ladder is anchored in place, allowing it to be placed safely at any angle (even horizontally) without risk of falling. The ladder can hold up to 1,000 pounds at a time. If the ladder ever carries more weight than that, it transforms back into an amulet.

The ladder transforms back into an amulet after 1 hour or if you command it to do so as an action.

Amulet of Transformation

Amulet of Transformation
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement by a druid)
Aura: Moderate Transmutation

These amulets, carved from oak bark and hung from the neck by cords of woven mistletoe, each depict a different Beast. So long as you have at least one use of your wild shape feature remaining, transforming into the animal depicted on the amulet does not require you to expend a use of your wild shape feature. This amulet does not grant you the ability to wild shape into an animal you normally would not be able to at your level. 

If you revert to your normal form as a result of dropping to 0 hit points while using this amulet, the amulet ceases to function until the next dawn.

Amulet of Timekeeping
Wondrous Item, Common

This circular amulet is divided into six sections. When the command word is spoken, all six sections begin to glow faintly. Every ten minutes, one of the sections stops glowing, tracking exactly one hour total before the amulet stops glowing completely.

Thet of Ptah

Thet of Ptah
Wondrous Item, Legendary (requires attunement)
Aura: Very Strong Abjuration and Transmutation

This amulet is said to be rarely bestowed upon individuals who craft exceptionally impressive works of artifice. While wearing it, the amulet constantly projects an antimagic field, as the spell, with one exception: spells you cast with a duration of instantaneous are not affected by the field projected by the amulet. You can use an action to suppress the field for 1 minute.

So long as the field is not active, you can use the amulet to cast the etherealness spell. Once you have used this property, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Amulet of the Spirit

Amulet of the Spirit
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement)
Aura: Moderate Necromancy

Appearing as a small gold disk on a thin chain. While you wear this amulet you cannot be charmed, frightened or possessed, and any spell or ability that would trap, imprison or otherwise prevent your soul from being free automatically fails. 

If you die while attuned to the amulet, your soul is held in stasis within the amulet so long as it remains on your body and no other creature attunes to it. Time spent in stasis does not count against the time limit for spells such as raise dead.

Amulet of Sleeplessness

Amulet of Sleeplessness
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)
Aura: Minor Enchantment

While wearing this amulet, you cannot fall asleep- either naturally or through magical means. In addition, you do not suffer the regular ill effects from failing to complete a long rest each day.

Curse. You cannot gain the benefits of a long rest so long as you wear the amulet. Unless you naturally do not need sleep, then for each week you go without sleep, you gain one level of exhaustion, which cannot be removed by any means until the curse is broken and you are no longer attuned to the amulet.
