The death protection poppet will redirect the death (irrespective of cause) of the bound player or creature to the poppet, destroying it in the process. This poppet is the only way to prevent certain types of death. The poppet will also give a short buff against the cause of death (fire, drowning, etc.) and heal a bit of life, allowing the player a small amount of breathing space to get out of trouble.

For this effect to occur, the poppet must either remain on the protected being or be stored on a poppet shelf somewhere.
