Memento Mori

ItemValdaPlayerPack2014rare
Rarity
rare

This sealed letter, infused with Chronomancy magic, contains a written description of how the creature that reads it shall die. The letter always contains specific descriptions, such as "The red-eyed orc drove its blade through Faizon the Blue's heart," but may also use cryptic or vague language. It never specifies an exact time. Once a creature has read the letter, it has Advantage on Death Saving Throws, and dies only after gaining five Death Saving Throw failures, instead of three. However, when the creature arrives at the moment of its death described in the letter, it dies without making Death Saving Throws if it is reduced to 0 Hit Points.

Once a Memento Mori is opened and read, it becomes an ordinary letter. Its effects end only if the creature that read it dies and is later restored to life.
