Wondrous Item, uncommon
Made from bones and leather straps, this set of braces can provide support for any part of the body and rightly gives the appearance of wearing a skeleton, even more so in the dark, as it emits a faint green glow, giving you disadvantage on vision-related Dexterity (Stealth) checks in the dark. This brace has 5 charges. While wearing it, your Impact Extent effectively reduces by 1 (minimum 0) for trait-related mobility needs, and you can expend 1 charge as an action for one of the following properties:
Walking Dead. You animate the bones, which follow your mental commands for 1 hour. For the duration, your Impact Extent effectively reduces by 3 (minimum 0). After using this property, you take 1 level of exhaustion until you take a short rest.
Necrotic Surge. You shove an opponent, causing 2d4 necrotic damage on a successful attack.
If you only need a brace for part of your body, you need not wear every piece, but you must carry the other pieces on your body (e.g., in a backpack) in the same dimensional space, not a bag of holding or similar magic containers, to use its charges.
The brace regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn.
