Rune that works kind of like a cyanide tooth. It is a rune inscribed someone where on the body, DC 18 investigation to find it.

Reaction when you go to 0 hp to speak the command word and instantly die.

Trying to destroy the rune is a DC 20 (INT) arcana/spellcasting check to dispel or destroy the rune without killing the wearer. (15 or above allows you to avoid activating the rune, but does not dispel it.)
