When you fall to 0HP, you are able to draw upon your understanding of consciousness to traverse the bardo. If you do, roll a d10:
1: Moving on - Your physical form is lost to you, but your consciousness traverses the spiritual plane and shifts into another being. (Work with the DM to establish what creature or character you will be reincarnated as) The new creature will have all of the memories and class abilities of your previous form, but with new racial traits if your race has changed.
2-4: Reaching Out - Your consciousness is able to enter the mind of one willing creature within 120ft. You are able to communicate with that creature for as long as you are reaching out. During your turn, you immediately fail one death save, but are able to use one ability or cast one spell through the willing creature.
5-7: Awaken - Your consciousness extends to those inhabiting the bardo, the land in between life and death. You are able to raise any creature that has died within the last 5 minutes and whose body is within 120ft. That creature is Undead. During your turn, you immediately fail one death save, but are able to control the raised creature.
8-10: - Transpose - You attempt to weaponize your consciousness as it leaves your body. Choose any creature within 120ft, that creature must make a wisdom saving throw or be under your control. On a failed save, during your turn, you immediately fail a death save but are able to control the creature. If the creature succeeds on its save, your consciousness is pushed out and returns to your physical form. Make death saves as normal.
You are able to drop this ability at the beginning of your turn before making a death save. If you fail 3 death saves, your connection with the creature will continue until that creature drops to 0HP or after 10 minutes. At that point, your physical form is gone and your consciousness is lost.
