I like this idea a lot, the problem here is that you could abuse the hell out of that while the amulet still exists. For example, you could assure victory in the sumo arena, or even beat Petrus while under its effects, sit on the throne and become the world's shortest reigning high priest.
Of course in most situations the most that's going to happen is you're going to sit there while whatever nasty monster came along lops all your limbs off and leaves you to wait for the amulet to expire while being nothing more than a bloody mess on the floor. Even if we make the amulet prevent limb loss, they'd still become disabled from having no HP, and if that includes your head you'd be completely ass out of offensive options.
Given that:
1. You got to find it first
2. You need to get to town before it disappears on you
3. You don't know when it'll disappear on you
I'd say you can chalk it up to good luck. It's not all that broken.
Secondly, yeah, having no options is no good, that's just prolonging a game over and that's not a good item. We'll have to somehow prevent limb loss and incapacitation via HP loss while under the effects of the AoRD.
