Due to your pact with an Archdevil, a part of your soul remains bound to the Nine Hells, making you a Hollow One. This fragment of your essence was claimed as payment for the power you received in exchange for your oath or bargain. The bond is believed to be unbreakable, and though you walk among the living, something vital within you is missing—an essential piece of your soul is forever lost. Each day, you are reminded of the strength granted by the Archdevil, but also of the hollow emptiness that lingers within, a constant reminder of the cost of your power. Becoming a Hollow One is a supernatural gift (see “Supernatural Gifts” in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide) that bestows upon you the following traits:
Ageless. You don’t age, and effects that would cause you to age don’t work on you.
Cling to Life. When you make a death saving throw and roll 16 or higher, you regain 1 hit point.
Revenance. You retain your creature type, yet you register as undead to spells and other effects that detect the presence of the undead creature type.
Unsettling Presence. As an action, you can unsettle a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. The target has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes within the next minute. Constructs, undead, and creatures that can’t be frightened are immune to this feature. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
