DESCRIPTION

This device appears to be a jade medallion in the shape of a beetle. If it is held for 1 round, an inscription appears on its surface letting the holder know that it is a protective device.

The scarab's possessor gains spell resistance 20. The scarab can also absorb energy-draining attacks, death effects, and negative energy effects. Upon absorbing 12 such attacks, the scarab turns to powder and is destroyed.

Editor’s Note

While the more recent entry for the Scarab of Protection in Ultimate Equipment details a scarab made from jade, the Pathfinder Core Rulebook described a version which was made of silver.
