Worn about the neck, the ash pendant must be activated by the wearer with a short prayer or litany (a free action) to trigger its power for 6 hours. If during those six hours, the wearer is reduced below -10 hit points or is killed by an effect, the wearer is instantly turned to ash, scattering across the ground. This prevents all but the most potent of resurrections, but it also prevents the enemy from using the fallen character’s corpse as an undead or as a target for any other spells or effects. Strong necromancy; CL 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, destruction; Price Cost::4,550 gp.
