Campaign: The Lost Mine
This copper amulet contains tiny interlocking gears. A creature that puts an ear to the amulet can hear faint ticking and whirring noises coming from within, along with faint grumbles and mutters in the gnomish tongue.
When you make an attack roll while wearing "Jebalek's Clockwork Amulet", you can forgo rolling the d20 to get a 10 on the die. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn.
An echo of Jebalek the Gnome's grumbles and mutters were imprinted upon the amulet during its creation. A creature who listens carefully to the item might learn something useful, or not.
In addition, "Jebalek's Clockwork Amulet" whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated.

Design Notes:
Its cost is 100 gp. Since its value is now more than 100 gp, it is considered an uncommon item.
- 50 gp for the Clockwork Amulet (common item) from Xanathar's guide p137
- 50 gp for the Guardian (common ability)
Inspired by the tables in the DMG on page 142-143 to make this magic item unique.
Basically, they provide ideas for the creator, history, minor property and quirk.
