This slim black leather collar is set with three golden stones the size of small grapes.

As long as a collar of life protection can still protect you as described below, you gain a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class against the attacks of undead.
A choker of life protection also protects you from energy drain attacks. When you would normally gain up to three negative levels, you can activate the choker to negate the negative levels. A choker can negate three negative levels per day, so it can be used three times to negate one negative level with each activation, once to negate three negative levels all at once, and so on.
Each negative level prevented renders one of the collar’s three stones gray and dull. Every day at dawn, all three stones automatically dissipate the collected negative energy and once again become golden.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, restoration, possession of a piece of the set.
Cost to Create: 7,000 gp, 560 XP, 14 days.
