This is where items of healing can come in.
There are some great healing subclasses to choose from in Dungeons & Dragons.
Here’s a look at some of the best.
Although such items are rare, there are some options to save you when you’re in a pinch.
Updated on January 12, 2025 by Lucas Olah:Still need healing, eh?
We’re also updating the information available to match any changes from the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide.
8Periapt Of Wound Closure
Reject Death
Rarity
Uncommon (requires attunement).
Whenever you roll a Hit Die to regain hit points, double the number of hit points it restores.
While this item won’t literally heal you, it’ll make staying alive a lot easier.
Don’t forget that the result of a Hit Die also includes your constitution modifier.
Once used, this property cant be used again until the next dawn.
It also makes it easier to avoid or resistthe Poisoned condition.
6Ioun Stone
Regeneration And Reserve Variations, Specifically
Varies (requires attunement).
The stone can store up to four levels of spells at a time.
When found, it contains 1d4 levels of stored spells chosen by the DM.
Official artwork from D&D Beyond.
The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the stone.
If the stone cant hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect.
The level of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it uses.

While this stone orbits your head, it’s possible for you to cast any spell stored in it.
The spell cast from the stone is no longer stored in it, freeing up space.
However, two variations here are worth mentioning: Regeneration and Reserve.
Official artwork from D&D Beyond.
The Reserve stone is more complicated but really good.
It lets you store spells inside it.
5Keoghtom’s Ointment
For Wounds And Poisons
Uncommon.
Official artwork from D&D Beyond.
The jar and its contents weigh 1/2 pound.
The creature that receives it regains 2d8 + 2 Hit Points and ceases to have the Poisoned condition.
This ointment is one of the best items for any non-magical healing.
Official artwork from D&D Beyond.
This staff has ten charges.
The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn.
If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20.
Official artwork from D&D Beyond.
On a one, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever.
From its name, it’s obvious that a Staff of Healing can do great wonders.
This will help any healer save some spell slots or sacrifice the need to prepare these spells.
Official artwork from D&D Beyond.
Just be careful that you’re free to destroy the staff if you use all of its charges.
This necklace has 1d4 + 2 magic beads made from aquamarine, black pearl, or topaz.
If a magic bead is removed from the necklace, that bead loses its magic.
Official artwork from D&D Beyond.
The Necklace of Prayer Beads isn’t just for aesthetics.
This magic item has numerous magical beads, each having a spell on it.
It’s not all golden light and Holy Symbols here.
2Ring Of Regeneration
‘Tis But A Scratch
Very rare (requires attunement).
If you’re looking fora more powerful item,then you have the Ring of Regeneration.
The only downside is how expensive the item is and that it can really only heal the wearer.
This rod has five charges.
If the rod is reduced to zero charges, roll a d20.
On a one, the rod disappears in a burst of radiance.
There are powerful items that are focused solely on healing.
Being able to bring someone back from the dead is obviously good, so not much to explain there.
