Wondrous Item

Very Rare Requires attunement by a creature with proficiency with medium armour

The Helm of Eternal Requiem is a black metal helmet with two dark horns protruding from it. It is made from a dark obsidian-like metal which is engraved with swirlings symbols in the metal itself making it hard to focus on. On the helmet’s forehead is also a red gem which is ever pulsating.

You have a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this helmet.

Command the Horde. Once per day, you can as an action attempt to command any undeads within 30 feet of you. Each undead creature within the area must succeed on a Wisdom Saving Throw with a DC equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save the creatures become charmed by you and follow your command for 1 minute as if they were under the dominate monster spell. A creature immune to being charmed can not be commanded and you can only command creatures who’s CR or level is lower or equal to your proficiency bonus.

Intimidating. While wearing the helmet, you have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) and Strength (Intimidation) checks.

Soul Leech. Once per day when you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can choose to make the attack a soul leech attack. When doing so you deal the normal damage plus the creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 44 (8d8+8) necrotic damage and have their hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. On a successful save, the creature takes half the damage and does not have their hit point maximum reduced. No matter if the creature succeeds or fails, you gain an amount of temporary hit points equal to the necrotic damage dealt.
