One of my players' PC has the Helm of Seven Deaths. It's very thematically appropriate, because they are trying to resurrect a lost god by stopping souls headed to the afterlife and diverting them to their new god. But it's powers aren't really cool enough. I've rebuilt it as an artifact. Lemme know what you think.
[h=1]Helm of Seven Deaths Artifact Rare[/h]This black helm has seven green gems set above its brow. They are dull, dead things, as if they once held magical power that has long since been spent.
