Warduke's Helm (Major Artifact)

Warduke's Helm provides a +5 deflection and +5 natural armor bonus to AC and a +5 resistance bonus to saves. It provides spell
resistance 32 and immunity to mind-affecting.

Both of the two lesser rubies in the helm's face plate allow a double strength death knell to be cast as a swift action, activated by the
wearer's thought. While death knell is in effect, the ruby glows and cannot activate another death knell, thus allowing Warduke to have
a maximum of two death knells in effect at any one time.

The large third ruby can store any spell up to 9th level, as a ring of spell storing. The spell can be cast as a swift action requiring only a
thought. Warduke usually stores a word of recall, although for important or dangerous missions he has it replaced with limited wish
instead.
