Homebrew Angel of Death Species Details

Undead humanoids with the general appearance of humans, that make strong thieves and assassins.
Angels of death are tall and slender in stature. They have very pale white skin, almost like chalk. The whites of their eyes are like the whitest milk, with black pupils, dark as contrasting ebon night. On their heads is very dark hair and they are hairless elsewhere on their bodies, lacking pubic or facial hair. Angels have body shapes very similar to elves but are slightly taller and more muscular, yet still lean and lithe. Contrary to popular belief, they lack wings that normal angels have.

Angel of Death Traits

+2 to dex and +1 to int. Angels of death don't age and live until they are killed in battle. Angels of death don't have a set alignment, but they are usually not lawful.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. You can speak and write common along with one other language of your choice.

Undead soul

 Due to your undead soul, you do not need to eat, sleep, breathe or drink. Instead, you must enter a semi-conscious trance for 4 hours a day. Remaining in this trance for 4 hours a day gives you the same benefit 8 hours of sleep for a normal human would give.

Death's body

Because your body has already died, it is a bit sturdier against toxins that affect the living. You are resistant to poison damage.

Shadow blend

You blend in with shadows exceptionally well. You are proficient in the stealth skill.

Death's embrace

You bring the wrath of death when you strike your foes. When you make a successful weapon attack against a creature, you can choose to deal extra an extra 2d4 necrotic damage. The damage increase by 1d4 at levels 5, 9, 13, and 17. You must complete a short or long rest before using this trait again.
