Homebrew Wraith Species Details

You were the plaything, or minion, of some necromancer, but you have escaped your master. Was this through your own actions? Did your master release you willingly? Or, worst of all, was your beloved creator destroyed by some do-gooder paladin, leaving you bereft of control, flung out into the cold world?

You are a soul, held together only through the strength of your iron will. Powerful energies course through your spirit, and you long to fulfill your goal, whatever it happens to be...

Ability Score Increase

Your Intelligence score increases by 2, to a maximum of 20.

 

Alignment

Unbound from any master, the unbound undead tend to chaotic alignments, though echoes of your life may alter your ethos. You are not necessarily evil - while many undead, free from control, tend to evil, good- and neutral-aligned unbound undead are not unheard of.

Darkvision

The circumstances of your creation endow you with a few gifts, including darkvision. You have darkvision up to 60ft, but cannot percieve colour in low light, only shades of grey.

 

Dead Immortality

Your type is Undead/Humanoid. Being undead, you need not sleep, eat, drink, or breathe, and you cannot be compelled to do so. You do not age, and any spell or effect that would cause you to age has no effect. You are immune to most diseases. You gain resistance to necrotic damage, and gain resistance to poison damage and the poisoned condition, and you are immune to the effects of spells that would put you to sleep.

 

Languages

You know Common, and one other language of your choice from your past life.

 

Past Life

Your memories of life are faint, but some things are never forgotten. You gain proficiency with one tool, kit, or instrument, land vehicles.

 

Size And Speed

Whether shambling corpse, rattling bones, or ghostly apparition, you still retain the rough body shape and features of your original form. Your size reflects this. If you were a medium creature in life, your size is medium, etcetera.

Your base walking speed is 25 feet and you gain a fly speed of 30 feet, but only to a height of 10 feet from the ground.
