Being undead, your senses are dulled so you feel little physical strain, pain or illness. Your Strength and Constitution score is increased by 1.

Your lifeforce is driven entirely by necrotic energy, and due to this fact you are incredibly resilient against destructive forms of necromancy. You gain resistance to necrotic damage. Allies can choose to heal you with spells that would normally deal necrotic damage, though only for half the damage that would have been dealt.

You are simply an undead version of your past self, though your memories and thoughts may have slipped away depending on how long you were dead before being awakened. Choose another living race besides this one. Before your death you were a member of this race and appear as an undead version of it. your size, height, and movement speed are the same as a typical member of that race. you do not retain special movement (Swimming, Flying), and, though you may choose to have formerly been member of a sub-race of a particular race, you derive no benefits from doing so.

Raised from the dead as a being of undeath, you count as an undead creature for all spells and abilities that affect the undead. You are immune to disease and treat exhaustion as if it was one level less. You do not need to eat or breathe, but you can ingest food and drink if you wish. Instead of sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 4 hours each day. You do not dream in this state; you are fully aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.

Through the necromantic energy animating you, you are able to perceive with greater clarity that which lurks in the darkness. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern colour in darkness, only shades of grey.
