A necklace bearing a platinum amulet shaped like the sun, with a large red stone embedded in its center. It was found in the ruins of the chapel of Ravenloft. It is the holy symbol of hope described by Madame Eva's tarokka fortune.

The symbol is sacred to the good-hearted faithful of Barovia and predates the establishment of any church there. According to legend, it was delivered to a paladin named Lugdana by a giant raven, or an angel in the form of one. She used it to root out nests of vampires until her death, after which the priests of Ravenloft wore it.

An attuned cleric or paladin of good alignment can use its 10 charges. It regains 1d6+4 charges at dawn.

Hold Vampires As an action, you can expend 1 charge and present the holy symbol to make it flare with holy power. Vampires and vampire spawn within 30 feet of the holy symbol when it flares must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a target is paralyzed for 1 minute. It can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end the effect on itself.

Turn Undead If you have the Turn Undead or the Turn the Unholy feature, you can expend 3 charges when you present the holy symbol while using that feature. When you do so, undead have disadvantage on their saving throws against the effect.

Sunlight As an action, you can expend 5 charges while presenting the holy symbol to make it shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. The light is sunlight and lasts for 10 minutes or until you end the effect (no action required).
