Deathless Subrace
The Deathless are not a race, they are an ideal. The Deathless are undead creatures of various creeds, callings, and backgrounds all united by their desire to continue their work past death.
Many of Arcadia's greatest scholars, craftsmen, and warriors have sought to become deathless, though only a few have been granted the honour of transition into eternal life.
The process of creating other deathless is a keenly guarded secret, though rarely, an individual whose life was cut short spontaneously returns to life as a deathless without outside intervention.
Some suspect that these spontaneous deathless, called revenants, have been deemed undeserving of death by cosmic forces, or have an otherwise greater destiny awaiting them.
Deathless Traits
- Ability Score Increase. Constitution +1.
- Deathless. You gain immunity to poison damage, the poisoned condition, and exhaustion. You may not use any abilites, such as the Berserker's Frenzy, which impart exhaustion when used.
- Undead Nature. Your creature type is undead.
- Needless. You do not breathe, eat, or sleep.
- Darkvision. You have darkvision out to 60 ft.
Additionally, your Draconic Ancestry trait (if you have it) uses necrotic damage as its damage type, replacing the damage type that applies to your breath weapon and your damage resistance.
Skeletal Deathless
Some deathless are skeletal in form. Skeletal deathless are resistant to piercing damage but vulnerable to bludgeoning damage.
Healing the Dead
As undead creatures, Deathless are immune to most forms of magical healing. However, they can still recover hit points by spending hit dice, drinking potions, through the use of the Healer feat, and from a Celestial Warlock's Healing Light.
Deathless can also benefit from spells such as Regenerate and Heroes' Feast, as well as the undead specific effects of Negative Energy Flood and Life Transference.
