The Revenants of the Abyss are souls who have defied death at the cost of their humanity. They return to the mortal world having crossed the horrors of the underworld, driven by a purpose that burns beyond life and death. They are often hunters of the hellish, wraiths of vengeance who have made pacts with dark or ancient entities, and bear upon themselves the marks of their doom and power.
Those who walk this path have often lost loved ones to acts of fanaticism or divine cruelty, and they return not to redeem the world, but to punish it. Their presence disturbs both the living and the dead.

Having returned from the depths of the Infernal Realms, your soul bears the stain of shadow. Once per long rest, you can gain advantage on a Charisma (Intimidation) or Charisma (Persuasion) check made against fiends or undead. Creatures of darkness instinctively recognize the otherworldly power that clings to you—some may fear it, others may be drawn to it.
