Reborn Overdrive
Prerequisite: Reborn
Your body no longer obeys the biological safeguards that limit living creatures. You can push beyond ordinary physical limits, but without pain to warn you, you risk damaging yourself.
Overdrive
Whenever you attempt an unusually strenuous physical action, the DM secretly rolls a d20 and consults the Overdrive table. The triggering action resolves normally, with any additional effects determined below. The DM decides when an action qualifies.
| d20 | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | Critical Breakdown. Your body suffers a significant physical injury, and you lose 1d4 hit points. You have disadvantage on all rolls relevant to that injury until it is addressed. The DM determines the injury, the rolls it affects, and the treatment or repair required. |
| 2–9 | Physical Overextension. You have disadvantage on your next roll relevant to the physical strain that triggered Overdrive, provided that roll occurs within 1 minute. The effect ends after that roll. If no relevant roll occurs within that minute, the effect expires and the overextension goes unnoticed. |
| 10–19 | Stable. The action produces no additional benefit or injury. |
| 20 | Reborn Surge. Your body exceeds its normal physical limits. You gain a physical benefit appropriate to the triggering action, as determined by the DM. |
Reborn Surge
A Surge can produce one of the following benefits, or an equivalent physical benefit determined by the DM:
-
Movement. Double the movement available to you on the triggering turn.
-
Attack. If the triggering action is the Attack action, make two additional normal weapon attacks as part of that action.
-
Physical Exertion. Accomplish an exceptional feat of Strength or Dexterity appropriate to the triggering action, such as an extraordinary lift, leap, climb, or burst of agility.
Deliberate Surge
Beginning at character level 8, you can deliberately trigger a Reborn Surge for a physical action you perform, choosing to do so before resolving that action. Once you use this benefit, you cannot use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
Beginning at character level 12, you can use this benefit twice per Long Rest, regaining all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Deliberate Surges do not replace or prevent the DM’s secret Overdrive rolls. Those rolls continue whenever an action qualifies, including when you deliberately trigger a Surge.
Unusual Pain Response
You can recognize that your body is damaged without experiencing the normal warning signals that would make a living creature stop. This altered pain response does not prevent injury, hit point loss, or the effects of a breakdown.
