So a better idea: Amulet of resist death could work as a life extension: If you die, you sort of don't die... Until you take the amulet off. After a while the amulet burns, and if you forgot to heal, you die.
Or maybe: In the event of death, you won't die in another few minutes, during which you're practically immortal... But when those minutes are up, you'll die. It should be extremely hard to cancel the death!

I'd definitely say bring you back to life in some sort of crippled state. Could resurrect you with your body parts all black, unconscious; and force you to heal to at least a semi-fighting state.

The problem I have with this is that it's basically a less reliable AoLS, which is kind of dull.
New idea.
Unlike AoLS, which brings you back to pristine condition then disappears in the case of death, AoRD let's you take hit... after hit... after hit... after hit... after hit... your HP is going in the negatives, but you're still alive and kicking somehow. The problem? Every AoRD you'll ever find is a copy, like that valpurium flaming sword. It's awesome while you have it, but there's no telling when it'll *poof* on you. The moment it disappears on you, you better damn hope your HP isn't in the negatives, because if any part of your body has HP in the negatives, it'll spontaneously shred itself as the amulet disappears. Which could mean instant death if that's your head, torso or groin.
