As part of a set of twins, you have a psychic connection to your sibling. It can be both a blessing and a curse, as sometimes you can experience what it is they're experiencing. Whether that's emotion, hearing their thoughts, or feeling their pain. Whenever your twin is hurt, you always feel that pain. Even twins who were separated at an early age still have this connection, although in the early years it is not as strong as those who weren't separated. Due to the complications of the psychic connection, most twins don't live very far into adulthood, if they even get to that point. Most twins are worried that if something would kill their sibling, it would cause their death. Most of the time, it does. It has caused most people to take twins as a bad omen, and sometimes kill them before they have a chance to get to survive on their own. However, the occasional few are left alive and raised with great care.

You have a psychic connection with your other half. You sometimes experience their emotions, but one thing you always, always experience is your twin's pain. When you twin takes damage, you take half of the damage they do, but as psychic damage. It is not preventable, the only way of keeping it from happening is keeping your twin from being hurt. You are unable to recover your health until they recover theirs. You recover half of what they are healed if a healing related spell is cast on them, and you regain half of what they would from potions. If you are damaged, the same applies to your twin. You can only recover the damage you lost if your twin is healed in some way. Long rests will heal all damage you and your twin take.
If your twin is dealt a fatal blow, one that would kill them, you would take five times the amount of damage the attack did to them.
