Helm of the Immortals
Very Rare / Legendary
Requires Attunement

This helm has 1 charge and gains one charge every morning at dawn. As long as there is a charge in the helm, it confers a +1 bonus to AC.

By expending a charge, this helm grants the wearer immunity to all damage for one round. The charge can be expended as a Bonus Action on the wearer's turn.

If the wearer would be taken to 0 HP or below, this item automatically expends any charge and activates its ability. If the ability is activated in this way, it will not regenerate a charge on the following dawn.

[Optional]
If a Helm of the Immortals activates its ability within 30ft. of anther Helm of the Immortals, both wearers are affected by the ability.

[Background/Fluff]
When activated, the wearer is surrounded in a translucent barrier that absorbs all incoming attacks or damage. The visualization of this barrier varies based on the user and their mood.

These helms were worn by the three bodyguards of the Warrior-King [Insert Name Here]. King [Insert Name Here] won many battles, but was not actually a great fighter. His ineptitude only increased the skills of his bodyguards, who loved their king very much.
