For whatever reason, your life force is not as strong as it should be for someone of your race. You may ride the line between life and death, with a lower body temperature and fainter pulse, you have a calm tenacity that can see you through most any hardship. Though your light is dimmer than most, it burns long after brighter sparks have faded away.
Benefit: Mindless dead do not attack you unless you attack first. Intelligent dead must succeed at a Wisdom check DC 13 to realize you are not undead.
Though you are not immune to poison or disease and suffer their effects normally, you cannot be killed by either of them. Instead, you enter a death-like trance when you would be slain by a poison or disease. This trance lasts for 24 hours can you cannot be awoken from it prematurely unless the effect that 'killed' you is removed in some way (such as a restoration spell or through the Medicine skill). At the end of the trance, the poison or disease is neutralized. You retain all other status effects and you cannot naturally regain any hit points during the trance.
Special: If you are dying (at 0 hit points), you have advantage on Death Saves and automatically pass the first one you have to roll. When recovering hit points by any means, you regain only half the amount as if you had Resistance to the healing effect.
