This solid gold scarab has obsidian chips for eyes. Glyphs of protection and health are carved into its carapace. A button at the base of its abdomen makes its legs clench or release, allowing it to be worn as a cloak clasp or a decorative piece of jewelry.

If your hit points drop below 0 but you are still alive (above –10 hit points), a scarab of stabilization automatically stabilizes you. You are still unconscious from your wounds, but you need not make a stabilization check each round to prevent further hit point loss. If another wound causes your hit points to drop lower, the scarab automatically stabilizes you again at your new hit point total, provided that it is still between –1 and –9.
If a wound would drop you to –10 hit points or lower, the secondary power of the scarab activates automatically. You do not die, but your hit point total becomes –1, and you automatically stabilize. This power functions only once—the scarab crumbles into dust as soon as this ability is used.
