Necklace of Strangulation in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Homebrew

Necklace of Strangulation

Wondrous Item

Very Rare

If worn by a creature as a necklace, it immediately begins to constrict around the creature's neck, doing 3 (1d6) force damage per round at the start of the creature's turn & causing the creature to suffocate. If the creature drops to 0 Hit Points, it immediately dies. The necklace magically loosens & can be removed from the corpse seven days after the creature dies.

If the creature is resurrected while still wearing the necklace, the necklace immediately begins strangling the creature again.

The necklace's cursed nature is shielded from spells like Identify & Detect Magic, unless cast a 7th-level or higher. Casting Dispel Magic or Remove Curse at 7th-level or higher on the necklace can temporarily loosen its grip for 1 minute. The curse can only be removed from the necklace by casting the Wish spell.

This necklace is an exquisitely crafted piece of jewelry made from the finest materials & gemstones.
