For reasons you do not yet understand, your soul has resonated with that another, forging a connective bond that grants you preternatural awareness of one another.
For the remainder of your life or theirs, unless the connection is otherwise broken, the following effects remain in place:
- You are aware at all times of the mortal condition of the other soul, whether they are alive or dead, and know instinctually when they drop below half hp and return above it.
- You are aware at all times of the physical direction of the other soul in relation to yourself, as long as both souls are on the same plane of existence. You know instinctually when the soul moves from your plane of existence.
- You have advantage and expertise on Insight checks on the other soul.
- You automatically sense the other soul's alignment and any shifts in their alignment that take place.
- You automatically see through any disguises, magical or otherwise, that may alter the appearance of the other soul.
- Your connection deepens while resting and while within 5 feet of one another. This provides no outright bonuses at first, but can facilitate roleplay.
- If you are within 60 feet and can see the other soul, you may both speak to one another telepathically.
- If you are on the same plane of existence as the other soul, you may use your action to see through their eyes for 1 minute. This effect only works once per dawn.
- If you are within 60 feet and can see the other soul, you may use your reaction to take the damage they receive onto yourself instead. This effect only works once per dawn.
Resonance is broken upon death and does not automatically persist should the other soul be returned to life by magical means.
This connection was forged in part due to circumstances beyond the control of either soul and as such can be extremely difficult to break. Breaking resonance takes a minimum of 8 dawns to complete and you must work with your DM to complete the necessary skill challenges should you wish to do so. Should both parties be willing, the DC of this disconnection is greatly lessened.
