"Whether cast out by The Raven Queen or bound by a higher calling, they walk the world once more to complete a solitary purpose."

- Scholar Al'Jibran

At a Glance
Revenants are a breed of rare mortals who have resisted crossing over into The Shadowfell, or have been returned to a semblance by the order of The Raven Queen (typically to complete some unfulfilled purpose). While Revenants retain the forms they had in life, they do not appear as anything like undead horrors. They maintain the same range of complexions that they had in life, but a revenant’s skin is ashen and the features are sunken, but still pasablee as living (if exceedingly gaunt in colour). Eyes are most commonly solid black with a single point of red light in place of a pupil, but other eerie eye colors—including yellow, white, silver, and gold—are not uncommon, although they always share the same fiery red pupil.

Ressurected by their commanding will or divine force, Revenants' motivations vary. Whether they seek to make amends, cast vengeance, or sow terror, a Revenant's will and dedication is nothing to be trifled with.

Racial Traits

 * Marked by Death: A Revenant exists between life and death. They do not need to breathe or eat, and need to rest for only four hours a night in a state of torpor.
 * Tomb-Tainted Soul: Revenants are resistant (-50%) to Necrotic Damage.
 * Never Say Die: Revenants have already experienced death once. Most are reluctant to do so again. A Revenant who is reduced to 0 hit points (or lower) is instead reduced 1 hit point on that turn. They must complete a long rest before they can use this ability again. It can only occur once per encounter.
