'''Dieamends''' are special stones that will absorb instant death magic for the user and debuted in {{DQ3}}.
The '''Dieamend''' is a recurring item in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest III}}. It is a special stone that will negate the effect of an instant death spell for the holder. If a character is targeted by [[Whack]] or [[Thwack]] and possesses this stone in their inventory, the stone will take the instant death spell in place of the user, and shatters afterward. In some games, it is used as a crafting material instead and does not possess its instant death-cancelling properties.
 
If a character is targeted by [[Whack]] or [[Thwack]] and possess this stone in their inventory, the stone will take the instant death spell in place of the user, and shatters afterward.
 
Note that in the Japanese version of {{Dragon Quest IX}}, an item with the Japanese name for this item appeared (命の石 ''inochi no ishi'' Life Stone), but in the English version of that game it was localized as '''Resurrock'''. This was probably done because in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, it is merely an [[List of alchemy ingredients in Dragon Quest IX|alchemy ingredient]] in that game and has none of the instant death preventing properties it has in other games.
