Paralyzing Claws

Your fingers resemble more of claws that the usual finger of a human. As a bonus action, you may make an attack with these claws, using your Dexterity or Strength score for attack an damage rolls. The claws deal a total 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier. Additionally, should you hit, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become paralyzed for 1 minute. The creature may repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns.

Once used, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

The DC to resist the paralysis is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + you Dexterity modifier

Bite

Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Undead

Your creature type is considered Undead instead of Humanoid. Spells that do not affect undead, or only affect humanoids, have no affect on you. You can hold your breath indefinitely, and you don't require food, water, or sleep, although you still require rest to reduce exhaustion and still benefit from finishing short and long rests.

As you are unable to be healed by conventional means, you have the innate ability to regenerate your vitality through resting. You regain half your hit dice at the end of a short or long rest.

Additionally, you have immunity to Poison damage and the Poisoned Condition.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write in Common and one other language of your choice.
