As an undead, you have increased resilience. Your Constitution score and one other ability score of choice increase by 1. You gain one additional ability score increase from the type of Remains selected in your subrace choice.

Undead are typically animated from Medium sized humanoid corpses, and have sizes based on the creature they once were. Your size is Medium unless otherwise specified by your Remains type.

Age. Awakened undead are effectively ageless. Their age can be measured from when they have awakened, but they do not change with age beyond their lived experience from that point.

Alignment. While typical undead are nearly universally evil due to the negative energy that animates them, there are other sources of undead animation that run a broader range of possibilities. Regardless of your animating force, what differentiates an Awakened Undead is awareness and control, and as such they can freely choose their alignment. Some will still choose evil, but others find a new path upon awakening.

Your body can be assembled if pieces are broken off. A lost limb can be reattached over a short rest while spending 1 or more hit dice as long as the limb is in your possession, and your corpse counts as intact if all pieces of it can be found and assembled for when using animate dead to recreate revivify on you.

Due to the unique nature of your sight, 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.

Your creature type is undead, rather than humanoid. As a result of being undead, you have the following benefits:

• You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You are immune to disease.
• You are immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition.

Regarding Divine Healing: Note that being of creature type undead precludes the vast majority of divine healing effects. This can prove a challenge, but is somewhat mitigated by Magical Vitality below.

As you are powered by magic, your vitality can be restored by magical power. Any creature (including you) with access to spell slots can expend a spell slot as an action with a range of touch to restore 1d6 + their spell casting modifier hit points donating their magical power to your vitality. The amount restored increases by 1d6 per level of the spell slot. Whenever you are healed in this fashion, you can expend hit dice (rolling them as normal) equal to the spell slot level used to regain additional hit points.

Additionally, you can be returned to life with the animate dead spell, which has the effects of revivify when cast targeting only you.

Due to your awakened nature, you have advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.

Awakened Undead are extremely varied by their nature, and consequently create their subrace in a unique way by selecting two values: their remains, and their animating force. Their remains indicate what sort of corpse you are animating, and your the animating force dictates what sort of force is driving the animation.

Your selection of remains gives you an ability score (listed in the table below) which is increased by one, and a feature that is defined below. Your animating force gives a language known as well as a feature (also defined below). If the language is listed as "matching remains" it means the language of the type of corpse you are animating spoke in life (for example, for an elf corpse, Elvish)

.Select a type of remains. The type of remains you pick from the available list dictates what former lineage/race/species you once were before having been tangled by the coils of undeath. Each type grants a specific trait and an ability score increase as well as (in some cases) a language relevant to the former lineage/race/species of the remains as per the remains table below.

Select an animating Force. Your animating Force is what fuels/bolsters your undead form into life, in most cases it is regarded as your soul. Your animating Force is the origin of your awakening and the reason why you walk the material plane (or any plane at all) once again. Animating forces grant exclusive features that resonate with the type of force involved in the reanimation as mentioned via the animating force table below;
