Reborn

A deathless lineage with fragments of a past life.

Traits

TraitDescription
Creature typeYou are a Humanoid.
SizeYou are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you gain this lineage.
SpeedYour walking speed is 30 feet.

Ancestral Legacy

If you replace a race with this lineage, you can keep the following elements of that race: any skill proficiencies you gained from it and any climbing, flying, or swimming speed you gained from it. If you don't keep any of those elements or you choose this lineage at character creation, you gain proficiency in two skills of your choice.

Deathless Nature

You have the following benefits:

  • Advantage on saving throws against disease and being poisoned, and resistance to poison damage.
  • Advantage on death saving throws.
  • No need to eat, drink, or breathe.
  • No need to sleep, and magic cannot put you to sleep.
  • You can finish a long rest in 4 hours by remaining inactive and motionless while retaining consciousness.

Knowledge from a Past Life

You temporarily remember glimpses of the past, perhaps faded memories from ages ago or a previous life. When you make an ability check that uses a skill, you can roll a d6 immediately after seeing the number on the d20 and add the number on the d6 to the check. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
