Amulet of the Planes (Broken/Cursed): Each character bears a piece of this broken amulet and cannot be rid of it. Each piece functions as the amulet described in the DMG with the following limitations:
Activating one piece activates all the pieces with the result/destination of the original activation.
Once any piece of the amulet has been activated, no piece may be activated until after the completion of a short or long rest.
The Mortal Realm (Prime Material Plane) cannot be reached by the broken amulet.
Player's Choice:Choose one Rare or two Uncommon Magic Items from the DMG (no other sources please) with the following limitation: No items that allow levitation or flying.
