Amulet of the Berserker (5e Equipment)

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

A ruby amulet that depicts a berserker on one side and a defender on the other.

Hyper Defend. If you are holding a melee weapon, when you take damage from a melee attack, as a reaction, you can slightly ward yourself against the attack, reducing the amount of damage you take by the damage die of the melee weapon your holding. On your next turn, your first attack that deals damage with the chosen melee weapon used for hyper defend deals an extra damage die.
