Your head is detached from your body and you can carry it with you or let it float near your body. It shares the AC and HP of your headless body.

Should your body and head be separated by more than one mile or as a bonus action it disappears and reappears near your body. In addition as long as you are able to see your body and its surroundings you are able to guide it in this way but if not your body needs to rely on its blindsight as you gain a 30 feet radius of blindsight.

You are immune against effects that would behead you or cause similar effects as you already lost your head. In addition you have resistance to Necrotic damage due to your undead nature.
- You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
- You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in an inactive, motionless state, during which you retain consciousness.

Death is never the end for a Dullahan merely a temporary severance between body and soul. Through a dark and sinister ritual, a Dullahan can be returned to unlife, bound once more by death’s grasp.  

A creature with knowledge of this ritual taught by a Dullahan as one might teach a proficiency, granted by a god of undeath, or uncovered in the most cursed and forbidden corners of the Realms can perform the forbidden and sinister Rite of the Severed Soul during a long rest. To complete the ritual, the caster must have either the head or body of the Dullahan and offer a sacrifice of diamonds, their worth depending on the level of the Dullahan and the nature of the resurrection:  

- Resurrection (1k gp): Available at any level, this version of the ritual restores the Dullahan to unlife as if by the effects of the Resurrection spell, including the lingering effects of resurrection sickness.  

- True Resurrection (25k gp): Once the Dullahan has reached 12th level or higher, this more potent version may be used, drawing the Dullahan back as if by the True Resurrection spell but they still stay an undead creature.  

At the ritual’s conclusion, the Dullahan’s body reforms around its severed head (or vice versa), and their soul is violently pulled from the void and bound once more to their deathless form.  

If the ritual fails whether due to missing components or an interruption the diamonds are consumed, and the Dullahan’s soul remains untethered, still wandering the void between life and death.

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one of those scores by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.

The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You’re free to follow those suggestions or to ignore them. Whichever scores you decide to increase, none of the scores can be raised above 20.

You are an Undead.

You are Medium.

Your walking speed is 30 feet. In addition your severed Head has a hover speed of 10 feet.
