Past Memories

You have the memories and some skills you had in your past life, you gain proficiency in 2 skills and 1 tool of your choice.

Incorporeality

A number of times equal your proficiency bonus per long rest as a bonus action you can make yourself and all the equipment you are wearing incorporeal and apart of the Ethereal Plane for 12 seconds (2 rounds), during this time your walking and flying speed increases by 5ft, you can walk through solid objects, and you have resistance to nonmagical slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing damage, however you can still be seen and damaged as normal and if you end your turn inside a solid object or creature you take 1d10 force damage that cannot be reduced and you are pushed into the nearest unoccupied space.

Living Spirit

You are resistant to necrotic damage and you still benefit from healing spells. You can also heal yourself by spending Hit Dice during Short Rests and Long Rests, as normal.

You don’t need to eat, drink, sleep, or breathe, but you must still be in an inactive state for 8 hours during a Long Rest to gain its benefits.

You also have advantage on death saving throws, however you die if you fail 2 death saving throws instead of 3, upon death a mock corpse stays in place where you died, if a revivify spell or something similar targets it, you come back as a ghost, only your true corpse can revive you to what you once were.
