You are a special soul. Having died millennia ago, you bargained with the God of Death to return you to life as you still have something left to do. In exchange for life you have become his/her agent of death. You are now his/her reaper. Despite the fact that you are resurrected, you were resurrected by a god and therefore are not undead, but have gained special powers you did not posses before your first death. Your purpose in life is to kill, and provide the God of Death with plenty of souls. Call your position a curse or a boon, but either way you have been given the divine task to kill and have been rid of your remorse for doing so. You have massacred many all in the name of the God of Death. Go forth Reaper of Death, and claim your next soul.
- Skill Proficiencies: As a Reaper you have a proficiency in Stealth and a choice between History, Nature, Arcana, and Religion.
- Tool Proficiencies: As a Reaper you have proficiency in one tool, instrument, or vehicle of your choice.
- Languages: As a Reaper you are fluent in Abyssal and Infernal
- Equipment: As a Reaper you are granted leather armor, a dagger, and a token to signify your past life.
Feature: Reaper of Death
As a Reaper you are compelled to obey the will of the God of death and as a result you are immune to the effects of the Haunted One background. You also have the ability to speak with the souls of anyone you have killed (you must have delivered the killing blow). The souls of those you kill retain all of the knowledge they possessed in life and must tell the truth. You and the souls of the those you killed understand each other even if you do not speak the same language. You may speak to the souls of those you kill whenever and where ever you wish. When speaking to the souls of the dead, others around you will not be able to hear, see, touch, taste, smell or in any other way perceive the souls you speak to.

You should really reconsider this last flaw.
