Shrunken Heads

Shrunken heads are the unique item for Necromancers in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. They do not offer as much in terms of defense as shields, but they usually have magic effects.

Shrunken Heads can have 1-3 bonuses of +1-3 to Necromancer Skill Levels and can only be equiped by Necromancers. You normally hold Shrunken Heads like shields with a Wand, Dagger or another weapon. You cannot hold two Shrunken Heads at the same time on the same weapon tab.

Auto Mods

Auto Mods are mods that "automatically" show up on all versions of an item, whether it's magical, normal, damaged, or rare. One Auto Mod from a given group is chosen for the item based on a random number and the level of the item (and the requirements of the Auto Mod). Many Class-specific items contain Auto Mods while others contain spell/skill bonuses.
