War Captain's Companion
This amulet can control one giant or 1d10 nor-
mal arachnids of any type. This includes beings
who have magically assumed arachnid form in
whole or in part. Arachnids are allowed a sav-
ing throw if they have an Intelligence of three
or better. Unlike the ring of arachnid control,
all neogi (even the Great Old Masters) must
make a saving throw vs. spell at a -2 penalty in
order to avoid being magically compelled to
obey the command of the amulet's wearer. (If
successful, the neogi can choose whether or not
to obey.)

RAVENLOFT* Campaign Set
Two versions of the amulet exist—one is made of
silver, the other of ivory. Both show the image of
a wild, wolfish beast bonded in chains. Each
amulet is round, and has a small hole at the top
for threading a cord or chain.
The silver amulet functions only when worn by
a lycanthrope. As long as the creature carries the
amulet somewhere on his or her person, lycan-
thropy is suppressed. Even a true lycanthrope
cannot change shape while holding the silver
amulet. No magical force prevents its removal,
but the owner may protect it by other means.
The ivory amulet, when touched to a character,
gives its victim the symptoms of lycanthropy. (It
does not affect creatures who are already lycan-
thropes.) Most ivory amulets produce "were-
wolves," but a given amulet could mimic any
form of the disease. The amulet is magically
attached to its owner until a remove curse spell is
cast. Even then, the victim must save vs. spell
successfully to be free of the amulet. Not every
victim wants such freedom, however. When the
amulet is gone, so are the symptoms of lycan-
thropy.

GREYHAWK* Adventures
Originally created to protect the common folk
from the spirits that haunt these hills, this amulet
has become a favorite among grave robbers. It
cial attacks from undead (aging, energy drain,
fear, disease, Strength drain). Physical attacks
and spells cast by undead are unaffected. A suc-
cessful saving throw against an undead attack
uses one charge, except the following: a two-level
energy drain uses two charges, and aging uses
one charge per 10 years of aging. The amulet has
2d10 charges and is not rechargeable.

Revenge of Alphaks
This amulet, constructed from a huge flawless
jacinth, is cut into a lens-shaped disk 6 inches in
diameter and 'A inch thick. It has a platinum set-
ting and chain. Twelve diamond chips are placed
at 30° intervals on the left side of the setting and
a single rune surrounds the top chip.
With the proper command words, the user can
direct the amulet to display a scale map of the
immediate, surrounding area once every three
days. Remaining on the face of the amulet for one
turn, the map can show either a small or large
area. The rune indicates true north. The amulet
must be held in the user's hand when the com-
mand word is spoken.
The small area map, when used indoors, shows
the area within the 60-foot, radial area of the
amulet. The map shows passages, stairways,
doors, and other normal features such as foun-
tains, furnishings and loose treasure. The user
sees in the amulet what would be seen viewing
the displayed area with normal vision in daylight.
The map does not however, reveal traps, secret
doors, creatures, nor the nature of what is shown.
Once the map is invoked, the user can describe
up to four objects and the amulet locates them by
number on the map. The user must know exactly
what each object is. It is possible that secret doors
or very familiar types of traps could be located in
the same manner. If there are two or more of a
particular object within range, only the one clos-
est to the amulet is shown. The user can describe
the same object more than once, up to a limit of
four times.
Outdoors, the small area map displays the area
within a 60-yard radius of the amulet showing
hills, cave mouths, buildings, and other terrain
features. Hidden objects do not appear if the user
could not discern them in daylight using normal
vision, although they may be located if the user
