Homebrew Zombie Species Details
You were alive. Then you weren't... Everything's a little foggy and nothing seems to function right. What happened? You remember a field, and people fighting... What's the captain's name again?! Why are you still in the field? Then you look down all to quickly you remember the spear. Its still there poking out of your ribcage with rotting bits of your heart attached. A skinny lad in black robes stands nearby. "Welcome back to the land of the living!" he announces grandly. "Maybe unliving in your case" he mutters to himself.
Zombie Traits
You once lived a great life, until someone ended that for you. They then raised you again to life, but as something different...Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Slam
Your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage.
Deathly Visage
Your undead appearance is unnerving. You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
Relentless Endurance
When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead, unless the damage is radiant. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Undead Nature
Your creature type is considered to be both humanoid and undead. You don't have to eat, drink, or breathe. Instead of sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 4 hours each day. You do not dream in this state and retain a limited awareness of your surroundings, giving you disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.
Undead Resistance
You are resistant to necrotic and poison damage, and you have advantage on saving throws against poison.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write the languages you knew in life, typically Common and one other language.
