The image of a grinning skull is engraved upon this ivory amulet. Black enamel inlays form a shield-shaped background.

Undead creatures take a –2 penalty on attack rolls against the wearer of a skull plaque. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.
A skull plaque also has two additional abilities, each of which can be activated once per day: death knell and detect undead.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, death knell, detect undead, prayer.
